1. Maybe they made progress in Volusia
I just can't help but think that the repugs are covering tracks now, if that is possible.

3. I've heard this before...
I don't mean to be too cynical, but I have heard it before.

I hope it's something fucking concrete!

4. FLASH BULLETIN! Blogger calls march on Fox NOW!


Combined protest against Fox and the rigged election —

The objective is specifically to challenge the wall of silence on the rigged election by news outlets like Fox and make a breakthrough —

Please spread this around, check it out and kick it —

A blogger has posted an extremely detailed, specific call to protest the rigged election AND the suppression of the truth ABOUT the rigged election by Fox News — a combined event mass march protest to be held in New York City — AT — Fox headquarters on 6th Avenue —

Main protest chant —

“Rupert Murdoch, tell the truth! Fascists rigged the voting booth!”

Nobody thinks of marching against a news organization in the streets. This is going to be a shot heard round the world.

Very comprehensive protest plan with very helpful travel details, the works —

See blog on this,

“A Call To March On Fox —

For refusing to tell the truth about the rigged election!” —

http://acalltomarchonfox.blogspot.com/

Discussion thread in General Discussion Forum — please help keep this kicked —

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=2688242

“A Call To March Against The Rigged Election”

Please spread these links around to help us organize this.

Please join that discussion there and help keep it kicked. Marching on Fox starts at post 117. But read the whole discussion. And read the blog. Discussion also discusses an earlier blog on marching against the rigged election and media. Second blog being discussed is on a specific, detailed call to march on Fox specifically as a key initial part of this protest against the rigged election. Fox is a key ENABLER of the rigged election. They’d never get away with election rigging on such a vast scale if it weren’t for news suppressers/distorters like Fox. Read both blogs.

Tremendously detailed comprehensive blog —

It gives the exact location in New York City of all of Rupert Murdoch’s empire, New York Post, Fox News, News Corporation (Murdoch’s big parent company — it owns almost everything else he’s got) — all of that — it’s all in a single building on 6th Avenue between 47th Street and 48th Street in mid-Manhattan. Murdoch’s own office is in the building too. We can be chanting against him right outside his window. All their offices are not on very high floors either — as low as the second floor — they’ll see and hear us and have to pass us on the way in. All those blow-hard Fox talking heads lying about the election — we’ll be in direct shouting matches with them as they come and go. And Fox itself is on the SECOND Floor. How good is their studio soundproofing in there????? Everybody at Fox is going to be bitching that they can’t get any work done. There’s no way they can hush this up.

Since it’s a vicious circle — news organizations like Fox suppress our protests, making them seem futile, therefore the proposal is to combine objectives and protest Fox AND the rigged election TOGETHER right outside Murdoch’s building and tie the two evils together — “Murdoch suppresses the truth about the rigged election!” — and invite other New York news organizations, many of whom DETEST Murdoch, to cover it. (You didn’t know New York news people and news executives hate Murdoch? Blog goes into that a lot.)

Blog has many links to anti-Murdoch resources and video of Bill O’Reilly telling everybody to shut up, shut up, shut up, over and over. What a sewer rat! Right on camera! He looks really mean and drunk in one of the film clips. Jack Daniels? And he’s on camera hotly lecturing us, “It is our duty as all loyal Americans to shut up.” The video nails him good — and Fox. Blog gives other video links too.

Tired of being told to shut your trap? Open it. March against Fox and the rigged election in New York City.

But the idea is to put it all together, to protest and denounce Fox outside their offices for leading the COVER-UP of the election heist. It’s a shot across the bow to the rest of the media that they better start telling the truth about the election, or they’ll get protests like the one at Fox. All the national news media are based in Manhattan. They can’t say this protest was too out of the way to get to.

Blog also has links to downloadable anti-Fox flyers, petitions and other resources against Fox that could be distributed at the protest march.

Blog goes into tremendous detail about the strategy, the advantages of starting protests in New York as opposed to other cities (huge liberal population would augment people coming from out of town), and it’s the news media capital of the world. Very friendly terrain. New York Democratic congressmen are demanding investigation of the stolen election. No rednecks in the population or the government, no paranoid security apparatus like you have in D.C.

Blog includes complete “mother lode” total orientation guide to using New York subways with downloadable maps you can enlarge, how to use mass transit to get from Amtrak’s Penn Station to the march, how to use mass transit to get from the airports to the march.

Let’s make it happen!

Keep kicking that thread so everyone will hear of this!

6. Why single Fox out?
Last I checked there has been no significant reporting on the rigged election on any other network or cable news source but for one single program on msnbc

8. I Agree! Why Just Fox?
It appears as if all of MSM, with the exception of MSNBC allowing Keith Olbermann to report this, is in collusion to keep this not only quiet, but when reporting it, discredited.

9. See the original post about the protest
It's because of the publicity it would generate with the other MSM. Faux News and Murdoch are detested by the media in NYC. They will gleefully cover an event like this. While covering the protest against Faux, though, they'll be taking on the underlying protest theme (election fraud), as well.

People do not march against a particular media corporation. It doesn't happen. But Faux is an emblematic representation of this admin., so it's the perfect target for a protest to generate the interest and coverage of rival media.

10. stop the spam madness!
the march is a great idea, though a date would be useful.

but DO YOU HAVE TO POST THIS IN EVERY FRIGGIN THREAD? start a thread just for the march on Fox and let people show their interest in it from there, please.

I have this image in my head of a thousand people holding mirrors and pointing them at the White House. You know how the papers love a visual.

(Edit:- Page finally loaded.) Or shine the mirror on Faux News Headquarters...that might be even better:) Shine on the fake news the light of truth.

Welcome to DU! Your point is somewhat valid and does get frustrating to some, but just be careful how you word things, as there are those at DU (guilty myself on a few occasions) that jump on a chance to lash out, especially at a newbie LOL I have learned here quickly though that newbies have helped this election cause every single bit as much as the elders, and that some elders have been guilty of frustrating tactics as much as the newbies. So don't sweat it. We welcome you and look forward to what you have to offer.

:hi:

14. I doubt she would be talking about it-
If it wasn't about a discovery of fraud. Sounds facinating...Oh Thom Hartmanns show is on...maybe he will discuss it.

I have been asking people to request the "Voting Machine" song for TRL-

Please kick the thread if you think it is a good idea.

A friend of mine received an email from another friend who said that Bev Harris will be on with Randi Rhodes of Air America Radio (http://www.airamericaradio.com) this afternoon. I am listening and if she does come on, I'll post.
