The persons you have listed are noted, self-professed politco's and
commentators. O'Rielly may take umbrage with being referred to as a
politico, as well as Dobbs. But to classify these persons as pure
journalists is something I suspect they would even find amusing.

To add to this, I don't think it can be reasonably inferred from the
interview that the discussion of liberal bias in the MSM did not
tacitly consider the fact that there are more conservative elements of
the MSM. It's understood that the more conservative elements are not
representative of the MSM as a whole.


MSM? Do you mean MSNBC? If so, I certainly agree that conservative elements
are not representative of that organization. It is certainly true, as well,
that Fox is pretty much a right-wing biased organization, and they pushing
an agenda of mis-information and fear. MSNBC isn't pushing a similar agenda,
although, as I said, they lean left.

MSM is a common acronym for Mainstream Media.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/MSM

"The mainstream media is a collective journalistic entity which
provides news and information to a large audience. This is in contrast
with the alternative media, which reaches a much smaller and often
more specific audience. You may hear the mainstream media referred to
as the “mass media,” referencing the idea that it reaches the masses,
and it is sometimes seen written as MSM. Most people around the world
get the bulk of their news through the mainstream media."

RT was referring to the media in the journalistic sense.

You really should move beyond Heinlein, JPS.
