MSM usually means "Main Stream Media". So like broadcast and cable news and conventional newspapers. Overloading it to refer to social media is really confusing because social media is pretty much the opposite thing.
"Entertainment news" is a sub-genre of MSM, typically you see this on the cable news channels or the "opinion" section of a newspaper.
If you get your news from Facebook you aren't getting it from "the MSM" as that term is generally understood. I guess you could coin MSSM for "Main Stream Social Media" to differentiate Twitter from Mastodon (or Reddit from HN?) but honestly I think you can just type out "social media" and not die of fatigue.
