using you tube to fight the fat cats
Edited on Fri Dec-11-09 12:13 PM by historian
This article shows how some people who have been screwed by credit companies have fought back by posting their complaints on youtube. the banks have noticed this and generally respond if someone does post something. Otherwise they will bounce you from person to person and nothing will be solved. Read this article - i think we should use sites such as you tube to generally force the scumbag politicians to do the peoples work and not the slimy fat cats who only listen to fat cats. America h as become putrid and unless we do something soon it will soon stink as badly as a decomposed corpse!

1. Yes! And there are more stories like this too.
I recall one about a guy who had a problem with an airline and got the run-around and "you're out of luck" crap. Post on Youtube, it gets zillions of hits, so then the airline makes an offer. The guy said "I don't think so..." It got national news attention and I'm sure touched most people who have fought unsuccessfully with The Man.

It's like our local news problem solver. People have issues, get no results, contact the TV station and Jesse shows up with a camera crew and calls them on it. All of a sudden they are apologizing for their "mistake", and the problem is resolved.

In fact, there was a situation posted on DU recently and I suggested taking it to the 'good ones' at MSNBC and Youtube!

I think it will be a very useful weapon in our arsenal.
