Did C-Span cover more than a few minutes of yesterday's march? |
|
They said they would cover it, and I saw about less that 5 minutes. All day, every time I surfed back, they were running a live feed from a New Orleans (I think) TV staton. Very boring, very nothing.
But they have been running the Pro-War freeper gathering all day long!
I thought they were supposed to be unbiased?
I watched most of the demonstration on LINK TV, thank god.

2. I also tuned in to CSPAN yesterday at around 3pm and |
|
was disappointed. I didn't see any coverage in DC (though read they aired some of it yesterday a.m.). I then went to Link TV and caught some of Amy Goodman and the entertainment there, as well as Cindy speaking. But to me it also seems unbalanced, though I'm not surprised.

4. Yeah, they were all over it........ |
|
coverage was continuous all afternoon. But that was for a rally that had hundreds of thousands of peace loving Americans, not a few hundred (at best) "dead-enders" that LOVE WAR! My god I hate these people, what ignorant fucks. The same bullshit repeated over and over and the mindless sheep in attendance lapping it up like the ignorant fools they are. They love war, they love hate, they love killing others (well, not them, but our soldiers) and they love putting our servicemen and women in harms way for a pack of lies. Fucking retards! :grr:

5. C-Span covered the speakers from A.N.S.W.E.R. |
|
Which has created a lot of threads on DU.
Don't think they covered the march at all.

C-Span did not cover the march at all. They spent three hours covering the speakers, and after about the first three or four, Cindy, Jesse Jackson, Cynthia McKinney and the Raging Grannies (who were great) the huge crowd diminished to only a few for the next two hours or so. I kept checking to see where the crowd went, but all I saw were screaming speakers, who had nothing to do with the real reason for the March, as far as I could tell. It was super disappointing ~
I have seen nothing on the MSM about yesterdays huge marches, not in DC or anywhere else, other that a crawl on CNN and an apology from Aaron Brown for not covering it, assuring us there was no Conspiracy involved, it was just that they had to cover Rita, and I guess they are unable to do more than one thing at a time. Rita, involved lives, I think he said. I guess War doesn't!!
If I were not online, I would have no idea there were all those marches across country and the world, even in Iraq, yesterday. C-Span, I thought, was better than this.

Covered ANSWER speakers/poets for hours and I didn't see any marching. I think that cspan rapped it up around 3 EST followed by asshat's radio address and hurricane news.
