i have a couple hundred channels on my teevee and not one is reporting on the wisconsin uprising

[spanone]

there are people in the state house at this moment making demands on their government and the media looks the other way.

1. The corporate media doesn't want the people getting any "ideas"

[glinda]

9. They are working in tandem with the Republicans.

[csziggy]

2. That is why I have a live stream in another window

17. Dialup sucks!

Someday I'll have high speed. Until then, I'll just be jealous of those who can view the livestreaming. And be thankful for the news they share... ;o)

[Hannah Bell]

6. amazing, isn't it...there's been nothing like this since the 60s & all i saw about it was on msnbc.

[Cleita]

7. Free Speech TV is cutting in back and forth to the

Uptake Stream. I get it on Direct TV channel 348. There are no police around it seems and the doors have been opened.

12. Wisconsin Democratic Senators were on the Last Word

with Lawrence O'Donnell. I think it replays this evening.

Brian Williams had a short piece on it during the 6 p.m. evening news.

13. This is why I think Obama needs to go...

I know there are plenty of good reasons for people to not want him there, but we need the fucking press. He can drag the white house press corps with him, they'll be calling him a man of the people on M$NBC and a socialist pig on Faux. In the background will be thousands and thousands of people, without the damn palm trees.

[L. Coyote]

14. Because there is no FaceBook channel

yet :rofl:

[RufusTFirefly]

15. Yet you're still watching TV?

Who's at fault here?

[spanone]

16. the media. believe it or not, my watching does not influence what they show.

[RufusTFirefly]

19. Quite correct.

But what watching TV does do is warp your impressions of what's important and what isn't.

I don't watch TV at all and yet even I am aware that Charlie Sheen is inexplicably the focus of a great deal of Corporate media attention.

And yet when one of the most important developments in recent US political history is taking place in Madison, the same Corporate media makes it seem unimportant.

So, even if you do think it's important, you are likely to be reacting against a media who say it isn't.

Net result: whether you support it or oppose it, the Corporate media are setting the agenda.

18. Here is what happened:

This is what they did today:

See page 16, item 3. and you can see exactly where this is going...

20. Not even Democracy NOW! or Free Speech TV?
