Why is Sarah Palin's Crap on C-Span compared to Lefty Groups who tried to Stop Iraq War? |
|
"United for Peace and Justice" had the "wherewithall" to be able to get quick clearance for permits to Protest in DC!
yet...the C-Span Coverage of those events was "narrow lens focus" on the crowds and limited to "shouting" from the "Free Mumia Activists" that most Americans had little knowledge of.
Today, C-Span is covering SARAH PALIN's ROLL ACROSS AMERICA! It's great covrage! Showing it all in it's Glory of the REAGAN VIEW OF AMERICA! BACK TO REAGAN!
Yet, the whole "scene" seems to be so similar to the PROTESTS against the IRAQ INVASION and how the "tepid/putrid" Mainstream Media covered sending America to WAR in the WRONG PLACE...really causes some of us to "PUKE UP!"
So...Sarah is out there...all over America ...working to get Dems Defeated.......but C-Span does the crowd as BIGGER than when "United for Peace and Justice has Demonstrated time after time after time?
SARAH is now the newest "Shiny Object" for C-Span to report on?
What happened to the REST OF AMERICA? WHERE IS C-SPAN delivering on it's MANDATE FROM CONGRESS to do MEDIA that INFORMS? AS OPPOSED to "MEDIA FROM the THINK THANKS" who are Special Interest Groups funded by "BIG MONEY FROM WALL St." and "SPECIAL WAR MACHINE THINK TANKS!"
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?

1. I'm completely with you. All good points. It makes me very mad. We had to |
|
go to free-speech zones and the tea-baggers come out in the open with guns and nothing happens to them and they get mega press. We did so many events and never got more than, like you said, some attention to the extreme of our large mostly normal group.

Why are they even showing Sarah at all? I thought C-Span was for government news. She's no politician, she's a Faux News commentator, and opportunist collecting money from tea baggers by giving red meat with word salad speech's to keep them trothing at the mouth with fox news verbatim.

4. In a "Republic/Democracy" Sarah should have her Voice! But why is it Magnified |
|
to the detriment of Democrats who are not with the "Program" as defined by the Right Wing Dems?
Where is the VOICE of the Moderate Dems in all of this?
