People have been calling it News Corpse for years.

No argument there--the lamestream media has been dead for YEARS.
I was only equating it to the Obama gaffe--something that wouldn't have been possible without his inadvertent cooperation.

Mr. Hanson, can you identify which media is "lamestream" media and which is not?
By lamestream do you mean mainstream media. And if mainstream media is dead, why is it still mainstream?
What you said doesn't make any sense.

The term "Lamestream media" is variously attributed to Bernie Goldberg (author of the book "A slobbering love affair" regarding the media partisanship in support of Obama), Sarah Palin, and Rush Limbaugh. The term predates its use by any of them. I've searched for the origin--nobody seems to agree on the first use.
The term describes the failing media formerly known as "mainstream" and its downward spiral in readers, listeners, and viewers. Critics of the former "mainstream" media (the major broadcast networks on TV and radio, printed newspapers like the NY Times, Star-Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle, etc.--and print magazines--Newsweek, Time, the Atlantic, New Yorker, for example) point to their declining readership, viewership, and listeners as signs of their declining influence.
The reasons for the decline are many--obviously, the internet is a big part--no longer do we need to have a talking head like Cronkite or Rather tell us their version of what is or is not "news". Part of the decline is lack of credibility--examples: Dan Rather's debacle, the NY Times manufactured story in Iraq, or the Star-Tribune's embarrassment of trying to pass off their views as credible poll numbers.
Nonetheless--the now "lamestream" (as in "crippled") industry still takes itself seriously--not only "endorsing" candidates (the great percentage of which are liberal), but continuing to pretent they are "balanced."
What's worse than NO news? FILTERED news--whether by Stalin-era Communist State-Run media or media personalities that are an arm of every Socialist/Marxist/Liberal/Progressive party vying for public office. Is it any wonder that any sentient voter no longer relies on them for the "news"--preferring to check it out for themselves?
In that regard, the Lamestream media BECAME that way through a self-inflicted wound. One can only hope that the wound continues to bleed and becomes terminal.

Your explanation doesn't make any sense. Let me make it simple for you. Is FOX news lamestream or mainstream media in your mind?

Is FOX news mainstream media or lamestream media in your mind. Don't get all mad and defensive like you want to stab people, just answer the question.

News Corpse is only used to describe News Corp, not the main stream media in general. You gotta at least try to keep up.

The word lamestream, goes back to the 90's it's always been used to refer to stuff that becomes so mainstream that it becomes lame. A simple google search would direct you to redstate.org where they've posted multiple examples of it's use years before Goldberg used the words lamestream and media together.

Not even close, it's not lame in the sense of a cripple, it's lame like the way you are lame. I'm guessing you're to old to remember the 90's, or probably even breakfeast, but you could always use google for this stuff.

Do you just make this stuff up in your head? I would think that you'd at least do a little searching before explaining things you apparently have no knowledge of.

I read an article a few years back about a reporter in San Fransisco who had been murdered because of what he was reporting.
That is a pretty big sacrifice. Do they hold parades or hand out posthumous medals for something like that?
For the most part, these popular political entertainment network shows, don't really report anything that would get them killed.
They just keep people occupied and entertained and bickering. IMO
Locally your TV and newspapers are basically training grounds. You get your experience around here so can get a bigger thing someplace else. IMO
I think you are expected to just be friendly and not rock the boat during your short lived tenure in the area.
