CNN and Fox are extensively covering the marches today
Edited on Sat May-01-10 03:36 PM by underpants
CNN is basically going between the marches (HUGE MARCHES) and the oil spill

Fox has a guy in Phoenix with a small crowd behind him saying that they just hope things don't get out of control :eyes:

Hey, at least they are covering it. I wonder if it will be mentioned after today (see Oct 26 2002 anti-war march).

1. Ah I had heard that you needed to go to Univision/Telemundo to see it...
Nice to hear that isn't so.

5. As an aside, a great channel if you want to learn a little Spanish. I
needed to learn at least some for the job when I was working and found this station a great source. I'm in Florida and it's nice to be able to at least say hello, goodbye and a few other sentences to communicate. I also watch some of their novellas, great stuff.

6. MSNBC is only a news channel during the week
And even then, only a useful news channel after 5 PM (Eastern)

7. You know, I wonder about that station. They must think anyone up past
1am loves to watch shows about prison. I quite frankly would rather watch paint peel.

4. THANK YOU! I was being driven a little nuts by the posts saying otherwise.
I mean, I've got nothing good to say about FOX, but they are covering it, as is CNN.

9. Nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd
CNN actually interviewed someone on the ground. Fox only has helicopter shots.

12. helicopter shots are the only way...
anyone associated with feaux snooze can have their safety guarenteed...and besides that...the crowds the wrong color for any of their ofays to actually be on the ground....

10. I was really surprised that CNN was doing so much coverage.
Why do I keep feeling there is a hidden agenda, like they are trying to find the marchers doing something illegal or anti-social? My TV is a Fox free zone so I will have to take your word for it that they are covering the protests.

15. It's not fairness that drives CNN. It's their hope for a conflict
CNN loves wars and conflict. Today the majority of people out there are the 'immigrants' the teabaggers hate so much. CNN smells blood and goes after it.
