So back in 1997, I attended a Unitarian national get together in Nashville...

[WCGreen]

We had about 1,400 delegates, real delegates people chosen by their congregation to represent their church in Nashville.

It was a very liberal group and we had absolutely no press coverage, not even a mention in the Nashville newspapers or on the Nashville local news.

Just so you know.

Perhaps if we had misspelled a whole lot of words on placards and yelled and screamed at political figures.

Anyway, how much coverage did the networks devote to the anti-war protests.

Ever...

1. Yes, we'll easily have more people than that next Saturday

at the consecration of the new Episcopal bishop of Minnesota.

2. How many people are actually at this thing

3. They claim 600, which was supposed to be the amount of tickets sold

But you never know, considering a bunch of them who got a glimmer of a clue at the list minute that they'd been ripped off, bowed out.

6. And half of them were reporters

LOL

4. WOW 1,400 UUs

in one spot. I'd call that big new.

[WCGreen]

5. And we couldn't agree on one frigging thing...

I was pushing for trying to pass a resolution to ask the Finance Committees to review our investments, you know, to try and get them to invest with a social strategy. The trouble I caused, Oy'

10. What , you didn't form a committee or a

task force?

7. I think our beef should be with the media for this coverage.

Anti-war protests brought hundreds of thousands to the streets across the world and didn't receive this much coverage.

[niyad]

9. there were millions around the world on 15 feb 2003--and the protestors here were even tear-gassed--

not one mention in the msm.

[patrice]

8. I'm praying that every last one of those Anti-War Protestors are telling at least one person @ day

about those protests and comparing the coverage to what these 600 are getting.

[WCGreen]

11. I don't think the whole coverage on all the networks for the whole time

the protests were going on equaled the amount of coverage the just MSNBC devoted to these people...

[patrice]

12. I went to a total of 6 of these: 2 in NYC and 4 in D.C.

Please believe me, Reality means a great deal to me: The absolute smallest one was about 10,000 people. The biggest ones, like Feb '03 in NYC and winter '04 in D.C. were CONSERVATIVELY speaking probably 200,000 - 300,000. Our city sent 3 charter bus loads to one of these big rallies.

Next to nothing in the media for anything and Nothing reveals more clearly that the media exist for one purpose and one purpose only, BRAINWASHING the People for their Trans-National Corporate Masters.
