No i would not consider a pamphlet from Michigan Capitol Confidential a Mainstream Media Article nor would I consider them a Mainstream Media Outlet any more than i would consider a letter from Publishers Clearing house saying i may have won millions as useful collateral for a new home loan.

You might think otherwise.

Apparently you don't get my point.

Yea, that a media outlet reporting on Public Policy is apparently not part of the MSM, per Bt.  You've made that crystal clear

Perhaps you can show me where i said that.

or as it appears that you are doing if in your redefinition of what constitutes the MSM, it now includes advocacy groups like NOW or Move-On Org, I'll be glad to revisit my argument.

Is that what you are doing?

replies 45, 47, and 49.   Michigan Capitol Confidential is apparently a news service for the Mackinac Center for Public Policy.  As such, they are apparently not of the MSM, per your conclusions, especially when asked 3x

They aren't, any more than Move-On is of the MSM.

Since when are members of the MSM 501(c) organizations?

BTW 45,47 and 49 were your words, not mine.

45, 47, and 49 were my yes and no questions, that you repeatedly answered no to, with your standard qualifiers. 

And the funny thing here I'm not argueing that MCC is MSM.  You're the one argueing that they aren't, which I have repeatedly said, "ok".  So this particular Public Policy reporting outlet is not MSM.  gotcha

So what were you arguing with your gotcha's?

Anything? Nothing? Just felt the need to say something?

gotcha....as in ok....as in okie dokie.  I only played the "gotcha card" 1x.  Ironically it was with you, (though wasn't targeted at you, you simply jumped in), and never used the term "gotcha"

So, for clarity sake, "gotcha", when used by sirs, is 99.9999% analogus to using the term "alrighty then"
