If all the networks can carry Bush live

[malaise]

why can't even one carry the people's march today? I'm sick of this crap.

[jgraz]

1. I've always wondered why these marches don't go right to the networks

These guys are the real problem. Why aren't we surrounding every national and local news headquarters and demanding to be heard?

6. The 9/11 truth protest at the live Geraldo broadcast

should be a template for the future. Use the propaganda channels against themselves.

7. Look what CSpan is carrying at 1.53pm

9. Google is sometimes helpful

http://www.google.com/search?q=D.C.+web+cams&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

go ahead and check some of the links. I have high blood pressure and am afraid what finding cameras curiously turned off may do to my body ;)

10. Isn't C-SPAN going to cover it? They usually do. I'm sure the corporate owners of the other networks

have given orders to never cover an anti-war protest. It would cut into their profits if the government gets pissed off at their network.:(

[malaise]

12. Not according to this schedule

14. Here's a link to TrafficLand Cameras. If you select "District of Columbia" there are many ...

cameras that show people who are marching ... BROADBAND is needed, IMO, or the pages will take a long time to load.

19. Let the coverage begin: WA POST Anti-War Protest Kicks Off at the White House

Anti-War Protest Kicks Off at the White House
By Jerry Markon and Dion Haynes
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, September 15, 2007; 12:30 PM
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/09/15/AR2007091500826.html

The first major protest against the Iraq War in Washington since January kicked off today with speeches near the White House, to be followed by a "die-in" at the U.S. Capitol featuring the playing of tap and a mock 21-gun salute.

Protesters and counter-protesters started to gather by 8:30 a.m. for the event, which is expected to be followed by a week of civil disobedience in the Washington area intended to shift the anti-war movement to a more confrontational phase. Organizers were predicting tens of thousands of protesters, though their permit is for 10,000.

.....

The event today is organized by the ANSWER Coalition, which stands for Act Now to Stop War and End Racism. It formally began at noon at Lafayette Park, on the north side of the White House, with speeches from at least two dozen speakers ranging from former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark and Ralph Nader to Washington Wizards player Etan Thomas and Michael Berg, whose son Nicolas was a contractor killed in Iraq.

In Lafayette Park, hundreds of protesters gathered to wait for the day's speeches. They walked around with signs that said the country should "drop Bush, not bombs" and declaring the President guilty of war crimes. They also listened to songs such as "the revolution will not be televised" and Edwin Starr's classic antiwar song "War."

20. The webcams are great.....especially since there nothing else but

I think this lack of MSM coverage sends us, once again, the message that The People have little voice.

[uppityperson]

21. Because carrying bush live involves little effort, where all those demonstrators...

bad joke, I know what you mean, It is infuriating.

[John Kerry VonErich]

23. What did you expect?

Protests are no longer news worthy.
