We Need to March on the TV stations, in Wisconsin and the entire US
They have stolen our free press, this is totally unacceptable!

The media has made it clear, you can protest all month long, we'll just allow Walker to continue lying, and we'll continue reporting those lies as if they were the one and only story in Madison.

The TV stations are the bottleneck, preventing the truth (Walker's no bid power plant sale, etc) from reaching the rest of Wisconsin and the nation.

For instance, a judge ruled that the capitol door must remain open, yet Walker locked out thousands of protesters today while he snuck in supporters thru the tunnel entrance. He did not open the doors, yet this is how Madison TV station WISC ends their story:

Officials said that the policies that department has in place are "in compliance with this order."

This is a blatant lie, yet it is broadcast across the state without shame. Walk like the Egyptians- and SURROUND the TV studios. Put the heat on those fake news readers and every employee working to suppress the truth to America.

1. We do have some alternative press
Why isn't Ed Shultz showing this illegality on TV?

Is Rachel Maddow?

Why doesn't Michael Moore get down there with a video camera?


the little media we do have is seriously failing the people of Wisconsin

2. Someone should hold up giant pics from WI
in front of the morning show studios in NYC. You know, the ones that have giant plate-glass windows facing the street.

4. We need to build our own worker press
these guys respond to power elites. I commend you for thinking that going to the tv stations will change anything, but unless you literally take them over... they will keep not reporting. Who owns the media? Five companies. FOLLOW THE MONEY.
