I just turned on MSNBC to watch the march and
Rev Al. Such an important event and what is being broadcast? "My Dad is pregnant." How stupid is that?? I tried several other channels and can't find it anywhere. Now if it was a tea party or glen beck event, it would be all over the TV. Guess I'll have to go back to the MSU/M game although when I watch State play, I jinx them and I sure don't want to do that to my Spartans.

:(

On CNN, they're playing the pre-recorded and ironically-named (given the reason why OWS exists to BEGIN with) "Your Money".:eyes:

2. I was surprised too they dropped the coverage. While I have no problem with

what the are airing right now as to content, this is not the time for it. They should be covering the march and all of the rest going on. I caught part of Rev Al's speech and I thought it was great. He was also covering all of the unemployment and everything else going on. There are so many people in this country suffering it is unbelievable.

It's just one more example to me of how M$M per their plutocracy agenda will avoid covering issues too much that might cause America to really wake up. M$M does not want to disturb the plutocracy in the least.

6. Nope!
And I notice that these boards are quite silent on this particular event as well.

Strange, cause just a couple of weeks ago, so many seemed so "concerned" about
the high unemployment rate of Black Americans. Today, it appears that very few
actually care enough to even discuss this march at all, as though it wasn't even
happening.

I've seen like 3 threads on the march, one which was the one that I kicked that
provided the original information a week ago about this march.

I'm kind of puzzled as to the "lack of interest" here at this site about this march.
Don't know why folks are doing that. :shrug:

7. For some reason, MSNBC doesn't normally run news on weekends. Probably money.
The ratings dweebs have told the suits the regular weekend audience isn't big enough.

8. I was wondering where the coverage of
the Rev's march was myself. I flipped around everywhere. I assumed I had missed it.
