3. They need more people there, plain and simple |
|
The teabag crowd can have 100 people show up and get corporate media coverage (even more so if they get 1000 or 10,000).
Anti-Wall Street protesters will need more warm bodies out there to get coverage on the corporate stations that the people watch who need to see it. In other words, outside of our narrow universe of Democracy Now, NPR and other "underground" sources of progressive news.
Is that fair? No, it definently isn't. But it's also the way things are.

11. Well for starters how about the fact that they crashed the economy on purpose. |
|
Oh, and then they had the nerve to ask for tax payer bailouts when the executives should have been thrown in prison and the banks should have been nationalized.

13. There's not a media blackout. |
|
I just saw a (pretty fair) report on NBC about it. It's gonna be in the daily news tomorrow, and I imagine a lot of articles.
Please don't cry wolf with "media blackout".

I have more respect for him than anyone in the media. He's what inspired me to major in journalism. Him and Hartmann.
