the MSM is in full RDSS mode

[rivertext]

MSM, of course, is "MainStream Media"

RDSS -- the acronym I made up this morning -- stands for "Rats Deserting a Sinking Ship"

What do you think? Is it a conversation starter or a conversation stopper?


example of MSM pundit in RDSS mode:

RUSSERT: How could the president be so wrong, be so misinformed? Mr. Secretary... are you planning your resignation?

2. Ha Ha Ha, I prefer Corporate media.

Calling it the MSM gives the idea that they represent mainstream America, which is an honor they do not deserve.

But glad to hear their are a few dogs biting the president.

ReD aSS

I think that for purposes of pronunciation one would use the first letters of ALL the words.

so it could be prononunced:

aRE Dee ASS

as in

farty-ass without the "f"
