I think since this happened at the White House it belongs in this thread.

News Black-Out in DC: Pay No Attention to Those Veterans Chained to the White House Fence
EXCERPT: No major US news media reported on the demonstration or the arrests. It was blacked out of the New York Times, blacked out of the Philadelphia Inquirer, blacked out in the Los Angeles Times, blacked out of the Wall Street Journal, and even blacked out of the capital’s local daily, the Washington Post ( . . . )
__________________________________
How many were there? Well, 135 protestors were arrested.

I get a thing called an 'email blast' from one of the online news shows I listen to (the power hour dot com). So it's something I just 'happened' to see, thought you all might be interested in knowing that it happened.

cheers~~~~
(The show is called the power hour, 5 days a week, 3 hours a day . . . online or short-wave.)

"No major US news media reported on the demonstration or the arrests."

CNN: Police arrest 100-plus anti-war demonstrators at White House fence

NPR: Daniel Ellsberg Among Anti-War Protesters Arrested At The White House

USA Today: War protesters busted outside White House

5. Sadly, the three links provided up thread prove that the media don't want to really

report this. USA Today buried it on their blog but didn't print it in their paper, while CNN and NPR only reported it on their websites and neither actually broadcast the story. I looked high and low and couldn't find links to video or audio for CNN and NPR.

Unless you knew to look for it or accidentally stumbled upon it, no one would of probably found it.

Several news organizations publish hundreds of stories each day on their websites that never get read or get the true attention they deserve.

Nice find.

7. Thanks for helping prove my point. The CNN video is not even located under the US edition of CNN.

Top left corner of screen - EDITION: INTERNATIONAL

I have to admit, when I lived overseas I use to love CNN International. The pieces are typically shorter, but the number of items they cover are far greater.
