 That's one of the most logically barren and childish arguments you could have made. What you're doing is attempting to diminish opposing viewpoints, those who are distrustful of the media, by calling them all conspiracy theorists. Well, guess what, you're far more of a conspiracy theorist than those you diminish are, especially when you say that a genocide against Muslims is likely in the US in the next few years, as you have in the past. Saying that a "Mainstream media doesn't exist" makes absolutely no sense, it is the equivalent of saying "Mainstream politics doesn't exist" and that disliking political parties make you an Fox News loving InfoWars enthusiast, and that is just not true, unless of course you wish to make an argument that the founder of this nation was a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist 9/11 truther. Either, you're completely unaware of what "Mainstream" actually means, or you're just sick of people who don't believe in the same things you do, and so you look for a way to silence them and to diminish their dissenting opinions, hence referring to them all as "delusions" when in fact you actually cannot deal with the fact that there are viewpoints that are held that contradict your own. I'll attempt to be constructive, Mainstream (according to dictionary.com) means: "Belonging to or characteristic of a principal, dominant, or widely accepted group, movement or style"

 Now, I'll trim that definition down a tad to the parts which specifically apply to this example.

 "Belonging to a dominant or widely accepted group"

 So, looking at this, it is clear what mainstream media means; The media organizations which are the most prominent and widely accepted.

Examples of Mainstream Media Organizations: CNN, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, Fox, Huffington Post, New York Times, Wall Street Journal

Examples of non-Mainstream Media Organizations: Breitbart, Occupy Democrats, the Young Turks, Daily Wire



In essence, saying the mainstream media doesn't exist is equivalent to saying "Mainstream" isn't a thing. There are ways of arguing your viewpoint, but completely denying something exists which is universally agreed upon so you can justify your outlook and way of life while simultaneously demeaning differing opinions is not the right way to do so. It is childish, unconstructive, and has no place in political discussions.
