Our News Media (hear no evil see no evil SPEAK no evil)
NBC Nightly News is on. Not a peep about the protests. But the opening blurb teases you with the upcoming latest on Amanda Knox and interviews with the GOP presidential candidates' wives. PLease stay tuned!
What a load of crap.

2. People make fun of conspiracies but it really makes me wonder

Ever since the media gave the millions protesting against the Iraq war hardly any coverage it seems it has been the same deal.

The tea party proved it, if you are protesting from the right wing perspective, its big news, and the media will cover it eagerly.

If its from the left wing, it will not be covered or will be barely worth a quick mention and then move on to the important stories, like what the latest scandal from Hollywood is about.

3. It's on NBC now
Edited on Sat Oct-01-11 05:43 PM by malaise
PHEW - at last - nothing about the arrests.

THey are showing LA supporters and Maine supporters.

Decent coverage - could be better and more current but something is better than nothing.
"So far the protesters say they are just getting started". Woot!

4. Whaddaya know. Except...
Edited on Sat Oct-01-11 05:47 PM by PETRUS
the one commentator said "this is a liberal version of the tea party." Absolute BS. Has this been backed by any high rollers and their money? Not the same at all.

6. You mean you haven't gotten October's check yet?
Maybe your name had to be on that list from the Anti Vietnam protest years - when whole contingents of us protesters were supported by the

REDS.

(and I don't mean the Red Sox!)

10. Agreed.
If this were so we would see signs (misspelled)with a picture of B0ehner with a Hitler mustache. And more men with facial hair. And most strikingly, EVERY person would be caucasian.
