First reminder: Truthout will be covering the Republican Convention

[WilliamPitt]

all week. We will have, I think, three different camera crews (two at minimum) both inside the convention and out on the streets. We will have video and audio you won't get anywhere on the damned television, along with blog reports from me about 40 times a day from wherever I happen to find myself.

Screw the TV coverage. Read, watch and listen to truthout all next week. We'll tell it like it is.

6. Count on it Will ...

I was going to boycot the coverage until I saw your offer !

[rumguy]

7. The coverage on TV will be tainted with bias

The repukes will love the bias, but I'll get my news from the 'net.

11. I plan on following alternative media only during RNC week

The corporate media was bad enough duirng the DNC. I may just watch movies all week instead of TV (or maybe I should use the time to work on my dissertation).

13. The Media Were Mostly AWOL During the DNC...

...the real political junkies watch CSPAN.

12. OK, who is bringing the bail money for Will?

Somebody has to get him out after the cops start busting heads.

14. Now I can't wait for something that before,

I dreaded to see and hear about all over the toob. I'll be hangin' out with Truthout instead :thumbsup:

16. good luck - wish I could watch & listen

Unfortunately, streaming is frowned upon in my small office. But, my small contribution to Truthout hopefully contributed to a round of coffees for some of the gang.

17. It would be nice if you could cover some of the protests as well.

Tell us the REAL story.

[WilliamPitt]

18. Count on it

We couldn't keep editor Galindez and his camera crew out of the protest coverage with a chainfall and a team of strong horses. I'll be covering them with my own crew, too.

[blondeatlast]

19. Good to hear. I have a feeling the mainstreams are

gonna focus on the wacko anrachists and street-theater types, when I know there will be hundreds/thousands of ordinary moms like me there.

20. Will you be taking bug repellent and portable showers?
