For a nice portrait in how un-mainstream the mainstream media is, try this on for size, from a lengthy and somewhat snipey portrait of Rupert Murdoch in
New York Metro:
The Murdoch-ization of America has never felt so irreversible. At any given moment, according to Business Week, one in every five households is tuned into a show produced or delivered by News Corp.; meanwhile, Fox News is crushing CNN, the Weekly Standard is running the Bush administration, and three of the top six books now on the New York Times’ best-seller list were published by Regan Books.
