If MSM won't cover the hearing,
they are blatantly obstructing democracy. I think it's time to protest outside their offices/studios noisily but peacefully -but it has to be really big, so we have to start with one station first. Then the others may cover the protest.

1. In SF we protested at a local station and it helped get some attention

so that's a good idea. The main thing is just to start to get protests going. The first one in SF was not that big, so don't worry if its smaller, just start the process and it will grow. Check out the http://redhandsmovement.com to make or see protest announcements and to share tips and tools.

2. I want to protest outside NPR and PBS.
Might be most effective if we protested at local stations. The national programming is well-funded by corporations, but local stations have to rely more on "viewers like you."

They're public television, FGS, and the public is supposed to support them. They are the only media we hold any sway over, imho.
