CNN.com: Not a single homepage word about the Union busting Gov. in Wisconsin

[KeepItReal]

NOTHING on http://www.cnn.com/">CNN.com home page about the protests in Wisconsin against the GOP's blatant public employee union-busting legislation

If you navigate to "U.S." you get "iReport" snippets from people there.

[Newest Reality]

1. Was there a memo?

"Not in our best interests. Don't report it! Go to Facade Mode 4 = not happening. Many of them still think we are legit, so play it."

[KeepItReal]

3. Must have been... Although you *can* read about "Horse visits Starbucks drive-thru"

There IS a link to that on the homepage of CNN

:banghead:

2. They are waiting for the Walker supporters to ride in on camels.

Not enough drama for the Wolfster at this point.

10. Ed Schultz reported on his radio show that they were bussing in supporters for Walker

13. Are they are called Wisconsin National Guard?

I heard 300 people were coming in to support the legislation initiative yesterday.

I've heard nothing since.

14. I wouldn't be surprised

I haven't heard anything more about the "supporters" since Ed talked abut it earlier. I suppose of they clash with the demonstrators we'll hear a lot about it.

4. same thing with the Google News USA page - not a single word

5. Now if 5 teabaggers showed up to counter protest...

it would be wall to wall coverage.

[KansDem]

6. And the fact he's using the Wisconsin National Guard as strike breakers...

Not since 1936 has such an action taken place...:grr:

7. just checked

CNN
FOX
MSNBC
ABC NEWS
CBS NEWS
etc

only MSNBC had Wisconsin on front page!

[eleny]

8. Belshi reported on it earlier on his tv show - Said there were "hundreds" of protesters in Madison

[RainDog]

9. it's buried and part of citizen reporting

http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-556476

be sure to ask CNN why this story isn't part of their "paid" reportage.

[KeepItReal]

11. There's an AP story they could EASILY link to

That's what MSNBC is using

[sufrommich]

12. There has been union busting going on in this country

for decades.
I posted this OP on DU which sank like a stone:

All these people marched to keep their jobs, no mention was ever made anywhere let alone major news stations. I think a lot of people are just waking up to what has been happening to blue collar workers for a very long time.
