“Fringe media,” recently coined–so it’s been said, by controversial conservative talk show pundit Glenn Beck–will be a new term for conservatives to add to a growing arsenal.

With FOX News as the leader in viewership by a long shot, the other media outlets, namely CBS, MSNBC, ABC, CNN, and New York Times are no longer cutting edge, no longer relevant. They’ve buried one too many stories that could be uncomfortable for President Obama or for Democrats or for Democrat support organizations. In so doing, they have systematically killed their newsworthiness.

They simply can’t be trusted. Some have gone so far as to fabricate or mislead with their stories, using inflammatory terms or deceitful, artful editing of video, in an effort to malign and mock town hall protesters, tea party attendees, Christians, conservatives, Republicans, or the grassroots swell of angry American tea-party-attending voters. They downplayed, mocked, or ignored the gigantic 9/12 March on Washington, with thousands upon thousands upon thousands (UK press said nearly 2 million, one “fringe media” source said 60,000) of American patriots from all over the country attending.

Any Americans voicing dissent against Obama’s government-grab health care plan, his push for the faux global warming energy tax, his takeovers of auto corporations and lending institutions… the fringe media and liberal Congress has called them kooks, racists, teabaggers, terrorists, brownshirts, Nazis, or worse (if that’s even possible). The moonbat chorus in the background is from the Hollywood socialist crowd, like Janeane Garofalo, Sean Penn, Michael Moore, Bill Maher, and other leftist loons.

So, instead of continuing to be “mainstream,” the mainstream media has evolved into “fringe.” Like those dangling, worthless, annoying strings of cotton that hang down from a pair of unhemmed cut-off shorts. Snip, snip.

Fringe media. Thumbs up to that. It’s a more accurate term, since FOX News is the clear-cut winner in the TV news source race.

The reporters working within the dying fringe media have dutifully, blindly sacrificed their journalistic integrity and destroyed the trust they once had of mainstream America. A growing number of frustrated Americans see through their clumsy attempts to ignore Democrat scandals, foolishly hoping to help push through left-wing, socialist agendas. Pitiful, but not surprising. They brought it upon themselves.

Remember Susan Roesgen of CNN at the Tax Day Tea Party in Chicago? (BTW, she no longer works at CNN, and as reported a few months ago, had been turned down for a job at FOX. So, not only did she attack conservatives for her own warped, pea-brained reasons, she attacked FOX because her feelings were hurt for them not hiring her. Priceless.)

Here’s some fun pokes at the MSM… oops, FRINGE media, on a Sunday. Enjoy!
