The Mainstream Media

Perhaps someone could explain something to me.

It is taken as axiomatic by most in the Truth Movement that the mainstream media lies reflexively on behalf of the "OS" and that anything in it is automatically suspect.

Why then do Truthers get excited when an item that they agree with appears in the MSM?

Great question!
Looking forward to the convoluted replies!
The whole 'truther" thing has proved a dismal failure.
One thing interesting on ATS is that enough time has passed since 2001 that various "theories" are re appearing here, like reruns of Seinfeld.
It would appear a second generation of kids are going through the non sheeple, I know the truth, hate the government phase and dredging up REALLY tired stuff.
Right now there's the goofball "mini nukes", a few days ago it was Rumsfeld' "missle" comment.
Gee, I'm really looking forward to the resurgence of the missle pod and hologram baloney!
The whole thing is now boring as hell, and well established as American mythology.
