HOW COME, the gnews spent MONTHS reporting on the teabaggers,

[pansypoo53219]

but have virtually ignored the union fight in Madison? where was the folling OUR rallys? was it toooooo fucking cold?

[Beaverhausen]

1. because the corporations that back the teabaggers bought ads on their networks

follow the money...

[tanyev]

2. Because of the 10,000 libruls = 1 teabagger equivalency rule?

[eowyn_of_rohan]

8. lol - that's about it! -nt

[lunatica]

3. They're not in the news business

They're in the catapulting the propaganda business. Haven't you heard how the 'rioters' in Madison have trashed the Capital building? Haven't you heard about what slobs they are, and how loud they snore?

[Old and In the Way]

4. When your 'news' operation is underwritten by the Koch Brothers

and other political active conservative corporations...the purpose of 'news' changes from informing to un-informing or mis-informing. A million people could have showed up in Madison and we'd be watching a 'breaking news' segment on a few hundred morons rallying in their medicare supplied scooters.

[spanone]

5. media consolidation....pukes own media.

[The Traveler]

6. Because the corporatocracy had to

cow the Obama administration and their supporters, of course. Otherwise we might have made some actual progress around here.

7. Because MSM = Corporate Propaganda

TURN MSM (Main Stream Media) OFF! And support/understand Net Neutrality, and why Net Neutrality is CRUCIALLY important to our (the regular person's future).

[unblock]

9. where are YOUR billionaire brothers?

[Shandris]

10. They haven't ignored the Madison protests!

They've told people all about the 'belligerant, smelly and confrontational disaffected libruls'!

[RainDog]

11. because the same assholes controlling our govt are controlling our media

and people no longer have to pay them to do so - there are alternate streams of information available that are not wholly-owned subsidiaries of the power elite.

[midnight]

12. Rupert Murdoch and the Koch brothers don't want others to know what is going on.

They have carefully crafted the message the firemen's pensions are destroying the state...


MURDOCH THE MIXER OF BUSINESS AND POLITICS: James Fallows of the Atlantic Monthly points out that most of Murdoch's actions "are consistent with the use of political influence for corporate advantage." In other words, he uses his publications to advance a political agenda that will make him money. The New York Times reports that in 2001, for example, The Sun, Britain's most widely read newspaper, followed Murdoch's lead in dropping its traditional conservative affiliation to endorse Tony Blair, the New Labor candidate. News Corp.'s other British papers, The Times of London, The Sunday Times and the tabloid News of the World, all concurred. The papers account for about 35% of the newspaper market in Britain. Blair backed "a communications bill in the British Parliament that would loosen restrictions on foreign media ownership and allow a major newspaper publisher to own a broadcast television station as well a provision its critics call the 'Murdoch clause' because it seems to apply mainly to News Corp." http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2004/07/b122948 ....

13. Or the fight that is taking place in Providence. They fired

every teacher. they are protesting but nothing is heard about them... good for them....
