media manipulation

The practice of claiming that one or more media outlets lean to the left or right of politics in an underhanded effort to sell advertising for large corporate conglomerates. Often accompanied by the overt insinuation that 'normal' people are stupid and can't recognize any bias in any way or make their own decisions about the 'news.'

I sure wish I could tell if NPR or Fox news was biased or practiced media manipulation, but being such a dumb average American, they probobly know best. I'll let them tell me what to think.

Media Loading

When someone engages in two or more forms of media at one time e.g. t.v, msn, texting etc. This is highly unnecessary, annoying and uses far more power than is normal for one human being to consume.

Person 1: "Hey, what you up to?"
Person 2: "Just watching t.v, msning and texting."
Person 1: " Dude your media loading again!"
