Is it time to redefine "Main Stream"?...

It was a very interesting weekend at the movie box offices this weekend. Liam Neeson's new action film "Non-Stop" placed first at about $30 million. Second place went to producer Mark Burnett's "Son of God" movie, projected to do about 17 million but actually raked in $26.5 million. Holy cow. This is the movie that tells the story of Jesus, from his birth thru his crucifixion and resurrection. Definitely a "religious" movie, and panned by critics with a 22% approval rating. So how did the public react? A whopping 83% of fans liked it. So who's out of touch?

Clearly the media did what it could to dissuade people from seeing the movie. The liberal, left-leaning "main stream" media gave it poor reviews, the liberal, left-leaning Hollywood shunned it. For the most part this movie is loaded with unknown actors. And the public loved it. they turned out in near record numbers, posting over 50% higher turnouts than projected. This is main stream- not Hollywood, nor the Media. This is the people speaking.

It would behoove Hollywood, and our media, and especially Washington to get their heads out of the sand and start listening to the people, for the silent majority is waking up. They've shown it over the last several elections by electing Tea Party candidates that embrace the grassroots concepts of fiscally conservative government, of smaller government, of responsible government. Instead of waking up and changing to the will of the people, of their constituents, politicians of both parties have rebuffed efforts of Tea Party candidates, who are doing the will of those who elected them. The media has crucified the Tea Party, despite the fact that they represent a majority in their districts. By extrapolation the "main stream" media demagogues the very main stream majority they claim to represent. It will be interesting to see if the Tea Party presence grows after the next election. If it does I would caution both Democrats and Republicans alike to wake up and pay attention or they will soon be out of a job.

We the People are tired of "politics as usual" in Washington, We the People are tired of our representatives spending money we don't have, of fiscal irresponsibility, of ignoring their constituents' wishes at the behest  of private interest groups or lobbies. Media needs to learn that "main stream" means the view of the majority, not the radical left minority views they continually try to shove down our throats. We are not stupid, Main Stream Media, and it would behoove you to wake up and realize it. There's a reason that Fox News, shunned by your industry as biased and "out of touch" is the leading news network among the people, and that reason is they (for the most part) report the news in an unbiased straight forward manor. We want news, not your biased opinion. Wake up and smell the coffee. You are not main stream in any sense of the word.

Main stream is where the majority of people are, in ideology, in thought, in views. Main stream is not where you want us to be, it is not a reflection of your far-left ideology, it is where the majority resides. Politics or Media, despite their claims of being "main-stream" have not reflected the values and ideology of main stream America for a long time.
Food for thought...
