Talk:Corporate media

Toolbox - original page

Thanks to 'Toolbox' for starting this but I felt it need considerable expansion since the whole subject of the MSM is so central to propagation of 'the official narrative' that WikiSpooks seeks to expose as largely fraudulent.

I have saved the sources bit of the original article. I feel it is more appropriate to include it in a Project page - possibly 'editorial policy' - to outline WikiSpooks official policy on information sourcing and referencing. It can then be linked to as appropriate. The policy - simply put and like Wikipedia - is to try to source and reference all statements of fact. It is on what constitutes a credible or 'Notable' source that WikiSpooks necessarily differs. I'll get around to doing it - or at least starting it asap.

Rename? ->Commercially Controlled Media

I haven't talked about MSM for years. Maybe since so many people I know no longer swim in that stream. I talk instead about commercially controlled media. MSM is an MSM term, isn't it? Part of their story is that there's the 'proper' media and a few outsiders with dissenting opinions who are so far from the 'main stream' of discourse that they don't need to be taken seriously. In that case, let's not support that worldview by talking about BBC/Fox etc. as 'mainstream'. In my eyes ther are pretty much extremists, so would another label help?
