Agreed. EXCEPT when you are talking specific cases. The term Main Stream Media has, for years, been used to describe broadcast network news outlets.Accepted definition of Main Stream Media be damned, huh? At least you will be fun.It is the Conservative's alternative to MSM. The fact that it is more popular than any other cable news source says much about it's competition.How could the #1 watched national news channel NOT be considered "mainstream"?
Oh and MSM is generally considered to be broadcast television news like NBC, CBS and ABC.
Who says that that's what the MSM is? Do you have any source?
We should define the word "mainstream" though.
Oxford defines it as:
"The ideas, attitudes, or activities that are regarded as normal or conventional; the dominant trend in opinion, fashion, or the arts"
So if Fox News has the highest ratings among their competition (CNN, MSNBC) then how are they not the "dominant trend in opinion"?

Looking at the definition of the word "mainstream"...explain to me how Fox News is NOT mainstream.
It's a straightforward concept.
Cable news does not fit the definition.
Mainstream media (MSM) are those media disseminated via the largest distribution channels, which therefore represent what the majority of media consumers are likely to encounter.
Nope. ABC, NBC and CBS are mainstream media.
Mainstream media (MSM) are those media disseminated via the largest distribution channels, which therefore represent what the majority of media consumers are likely to encounter.
The largest distribution channels are those transmitted over the air, thus the term "mainstream." Mainstream means "available to everyone" which broadcast is. FNC, CNN and MSNBC are all paid cable networks and thus only available to subscribers. That means they are not considered "mainstream media." They are "alternative media."
Ok argue with wiki.

The mainstream media are the broadcast networks. Period. Whether you like it or not.
