Moonstream Media

Derisive term for the left-leaning media; a conflation of moonbat and mainstream media.
During this election cycle, the moonstream media has dropped all pretenses of objective reporting and is losing readership/viewership accordingly.

Since, to them, the prism through which they look is "the way things are", anyone with an alternative viewpoint is summarily labeled and then rejected out of hand.

It's ironic that a group of people with such elitist condescension often lack the common sense that it takes to come in out of the rain.

M.S.M.H. (Mainstream Media Hysterics)

Mainstream Media Hysterics is the absolute belief and blind trust people have in Mainstream Media coverage and reporting.
Daniel has a problem in that whatever is so obviously staring him in the face but the mainstream media says otherwise he'd rather trust lies perpetuated by the MSM than his own experience. He's most definitely suffering from M.S.M.H. (Mainstream Media Hysterics). It's really quite sad.

Mainstream Media

A term used by people who get all of their "news" and "information" from youtube, to describe any source offering facts that don't comport with the nonsense they've been consuming. More hardcore idiots will use the acronym MSM because they reference the mainstream media so much.
I went to buy some light bulbs and the cashier started telling me about how the mainstream media is covering up UFOs. When I told him I didn't have time to talk, he told me I had been "blue pilled."
