I heard a rumor some people have been protesting on Wall St. for days but it's not in the news. |
|
Nowhere. Nada. Zip.
Is the protest real or a figment of someone's imagination?
(Obviously :sarcasm: but I hate these blackouts.)

8. I know. I watched it, too. Love KO and looking forward to TYT on Current. |

I bet Cenk will cover it.
However, the massive blackout throughout all other media, except for Wolfie's "riot, riot" coverage is striking. Like when millions marched against the Iraq War and it was like it NEVER HAPPENED. No coverage then either.

9. Amy Goodman and Democracy Now! have been |
|
covering as has Thom Hartmann. Our "liberal" MSM has covered zilch though.

11. Thanks. You're right. I meant the media that 99.5% of Americans are exposed to. |
|
Most people don't have a clue who Amy and Thom are (but they should, of course!)
:thumbsup:

10. There would have been no blackouts on any Tea Bagger protest event |
|
it completely goes without saying.
You would not have been able to go into any public place where there's a Fox News or CNN blaring all day, all week, and not know all about it. This continues to say absolutely everything about who and what the corp media services and is all about. And it isn't democracy.

12. I don't have cable anymore, haven't the Liberal hosts on MSNBC been covering it, I would think Ed |
|
would. He was covering people's protests when last I was able to watch.

15. If content is dictated like that (and they comply without mention) perhaps I am missing nothing. |
|
What is the point of watching another Pravda style outlet? I will have to just keep reading British press online for important news.

You expect the teevee people to get out to such far-flung places as Wall Street and report on every little happening there? Look, there's real news going on, like that transsexual person on Dancing with the Stars to cover. The major media don't have the time or the resources to hand over their precious, limited air time to some focus group gathering in some obscure locale.
