As for Scott Brown, his viability sneaked up on the MSM. They had only a week to kill him off but, by that time, most voters had made up their minds. I believe if the election had another month to go, the MSM might have succeeded in getting their candidate elected.

It's possible. Also, the MSM was distracted by the Haiti story during the crucial week.

However, MSM credibility is wearing away. You hear all sorts of people refer to MSM as MSM these days, not just conservatives. That's a big start - the realization that MSM presents one point of view, not The Truth. People can get alternate news from Fox and the Internet these days. The question is where do the all-important swing voters go for their news? I don't think they are all on the MSM reservation anymore. It's a slow process, but just because you can't see it happening day-to-day doesn't mean it's not real.
