Why no News orginizations reporting Walker Cut the Internet Feed
from inside the capitol building last night

Not that it has an eerie resemblance of Murbarak's tactics trying to hang on to power during his final days in Egypt. But ALL the American media blasted the headlines "Murbarak Cuts Off Internet" 24/7 when that happened.

Where is all that Journalistic Integrity of the "People's Right to Know" now

1. Interesting, isn't it?
Let's see what Rachel has to say this evening, and Amy is on this morning. Only the select few get this news, so don't be looking on cnn.

2. To Our News Media: We Need you all to assume the role of
your Legacy. In this environment it might near to
impossible for one of you to rise and become the
E. R. Murrow of these times. A Group of you could
and I bet my bottom dollar the others would follow
your lead.

We are loathe to call our state of affairs a Depression,
but I am telling you there is very little difference
between now and then (30s). We had I must say better
leaders. The Media really was from the working class.

Most of you (Media) are smart enough to know everything
reaches a point of diminishing returns. Wall Street
must recognize it cannot get blood out of a turnip.
Businesses seem to they can make the package or can
a bit smaller, charge the same price or more and they
will make money. Wrong. they soon reach diminishing
returns. Likewise, Wall ST. can only make up stuff
to gamble on. What made the World Economy and I say
World Economy work was a successful America with all
of our warts. My point here if we continue on accepting
the fact that we will leave many people behind--we will
have a Third World Country. The United States will become
the Middle East. More and More people in the Streets
and more and more destruction.

Common Sense tells us the Cut Cut Cut Strategy lays off
more and more workers. Fewer Dollars coming into the
Treasury in form of taxes. Yes they will balance the
books but the country will be in shambles.

Please tell the GOP they can fight all the wars they want
but if our county resembles Somalia, we have them to
thank for nothing. Balanced Books, a few very rich people
and the masses with essentially nothing.

Tell Obama working on the Budget in Republican Party space
only adds to pain for this country.

The Conservatives have taken the politics so far right
and our Party especially our Conservatives --instead of
holding the Center Line--have joined the Republicans on
their playing field.

History has shown us the way. FDR laid out the plan
and we had great prosperity and fairness between the
Haves and the Have Nots. In fact a MIDDLE CLASS WAS
BUILT. We just want to repair the middle class.
The War did not do this. Republicans refuse to
accept the facts. It was FDR policies and not
the war that gave us the prosperity.

NO we cannot go back. No one wants to go back.
People and issues are the same. Some truths hold.
This economy has reached a point of diminshing returns.
It is time for our Media to stop bowing to the Republicans
even when they are wrong. It is time to rebuild this
country and this Democracy needs lots of work. We are
losing our Democracy.
