Diane Sawyer didn't make it to Madison

[malaise]

but she's in Tokyo.

Fuck you very much Diane. You're all the same. :puke:

[Ron Green]

1. Don't ever forget, she and her ilk are ENTERTAINERS

and really not much more.

[abelenkpe]

2. Seems like a lot of people didn't make it to Madison

interesting who didn't cover that story.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Madison is too far away, too hard to get to.

I mean, it's in the middle of the United States! Is there even any airline service to Madison? How could she be expected to travel so far just to cover an important news story? Tokyo is just a hop, skip and a jump, but Madison?

[HereSince1628]

This time of year you've got to land the planes on skis.

And then ride a snowmobile into town.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

7. did their horse & buggy Taxi service stop?

too bad. That horse loved sugar cubes.

[HereSince1628]

17. Yellow buggies...cited for producing road apples...

Dane country decided it'd rather have a carbon foot print, than a horseshit footprint.

[iwishiwas]

11. Hey, we are not the artic.

[Greybnk48]

16. There's no airport right in the fucking middle of Madison

so how could they get there??

[iwishiwas]

21. She can rent the Oscar Meyer WeinerMobile-it is next door to the airport

in Madison.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

27. heh, the big dick.

that is SOOOOO fitting.

[iwishiwas]

29. good one.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. Nope. No airport right in the fucking middle of Madison.

None at all.

[City Lights]

4. Maybe she can head further north and help put out the fire. nt

[golddigger]

5. Maybe she wanted to get a special glow about her.

[Drale]

6. She's a hologram what do you expect

they don't have the hologram tech in Madison but you and I both know that Japan uses tech everyday that we think is not in existence. :rofl:

[iwishiwas]

8. I do not think any of the network anchors came to Madison did they?

[liberal N proud]

9. Not enough sensationalism in Madison

Need destruction or violence to get the M$M attention.

I am not saying violence is the answer, rather, we need to understand that given the M$Media's relationship with the corporations and the GOP we cannot expect any attention for these fights until there is something sensational they can show blood and guts on the foxbox

[Hannah Bell]

10. kr

[bbinacan]

12. Had she been scheduled to

go to Madison, and changed her plans?

[Modern_Matthew]

13. Trust me. You don't want her. She made my town look horrible. nt

[JuniperLea]

14. She looks scared shitless too...

Christiane Amanpour is steady and showing great strength... Diane is a wreak. I thought she was going to break down last night. She should leave the heavy lifting to Christiane.

[Imajika]

15. It really is appalling..

Wisconsin is literally ground zero for the fights taking shape in more and more states over public employee benefits and unions. That most major news organizations paid so little attention is simple pathetic. What is happening in Madison is truly colossal in terms of its impact on the American way of life going forward. And if the media somehow doesn't accept how significant this is to American workers, at least they should see the political impact which will be to seriously weaken the Democratic party in the long term and potentially alter the nations balance of power. The Republicans are literally gutting the public sector unions in a major mid-western state and the mainstream media haven't seen fit to hardly cover it at all. It really shows you just how out of touch what passes as the mainstream media is these days.

By providing so little coverage, the mainstream media is effectively helping the Teabaggers/Republicans since what they are doing is so clearly unpopular. It's more than pathetic, it is a disgrace.

[Cleita]

18. I thought I saw Amy Goodman there this weekend.

She's much better than Diane.

[Liquorice]

19. Yep, neither did anyone of note from CNN. American news has gone steadily

downhill for years and now it is a total wreck. I think it's "easier" in a way to cover a natural disaster because there's usually not all the vitriolic politics from the right wing about those stories. Still our media have a duty to report on labor issues. It's a real shame that, with a few exceptions, they have ignored Madison.

[progressoid]

20. You mean Diane Sawyer, former employee of the Nixon administration?

Not a big surprise that she avoided Madison.

[Ikonoklast]

25. She still gushes when asked about Nixon.

I have always detested her with a hatred brighter than a thousand suns.

Just another stealth right-wing shill.

[JHB]

22. There's no one in Madison...

...at least, no one worth speaking of.

(and we'll see who can name the source of the joke)

[hollowdweller]

23. What's to report now. Employees lost. Were afraid to strike.

[spanone]

24. if 200,000 people gathered anywhere else in the world to protest anything....

our media would have taken notice.

when your news sources have been politicized, can you actually have a democracy? dunno

[malaise]

26. BIngo

They would all be there cheering them on - but remember they showed up for the teabaggers.
