Media Patriotism?

This week, The Alliance is asking yet another question. The Alliance is wondering:

Is the Mainstream Media patriotic? Why or why not?

First, a minor correction. This conglomerate called "The Mainstream Media" -- says who? Who made them "mainstream?" I mean, really, who came up with the term "mainstream media?"

What is every other form of media, if it's not "mainstream?" Is everyone else "alternative?" Who gets to decide who is "mainstream" and who is "alternative?"

And wait, isn't "alternative" supposed to be good and celebrated? If you're not supporting "alternative," aren't you being racist, sexist, homophobic, or some other derogatory term? So, logically, the mainstream media, by it's own definition is not "alternative" -- and is therefore racist, sexist, and homophobic.

Certainly being patriotic is a good thing, right? So one who is patriotic must be a good person or a good being. And those who are racist, sexist, and homophobic are not good, once again, according to the aforementioned "mainstream" media.

Now, since we now have determined that the "mainstream" media is, according to the "mainstream" media, racist, sexist, and homophobic, it seems only natural that they cannot be patriotic, too, doesn't it? Because certainly one who is patriotic is not racist, sexist, and homophobic, right?

1 I tried to trackback but it would not function properly. Here is what would have been my "teaser line" so that you would visit and read my article. "Maybe the word “seditious” would apply to the large media as they seem to be more concerned with aiding and comforting those who would destroy our country" http://tfsternsrantings.blogspot.com/2005/11/is-main-stream-media-patriotic.html Thanks for the challange, it was fun.

3 TF, yeah the server's been slammed with trackback spams, so it sometimes takes a few tried to make it go through. I put it through for you, thanks for the link! "Mainstream" media is a more like pr0n than just that, Peter...
