Geez, I wish we had a Cable News Station promoting all the anti-war protests we did for 6 years

I mean we didn't have anyone promoting us and we still managed to draw about 250k up to almost a million for our protests.

Fox News personalities aggressively promote Bachmann's protest against health care reform bill
2 hours and 4 minutes ago — 7 Comments
In recent days, following its pattern of advocacy, Fox News and its personalities' have repeatedly promoted Rep. Michele Bachmann's (R-MN) November 5 anti-health care reform protest, to be held on Capitol Hill and in the halls of Congress. Fox News has previously promoted numerous other rallies such as the April 15 tea party protests, health care town hall protests, and the 9-12 march on Washington.

1. The teabagger rallies got more media coverage than the 2004 Dem presidential campaign.

There always seems to be an obvious imbalance when it comes to the coverage of political events the last 15 years.

Gee - ya think something is wrong with corporate media?

2. No big $$$ behind the anti-war movement.

Yet how many health insurance/pharmaceutical ads do you see on cable news?

3. the big $$$ were in SELLING Bush and his war. GE's defense companies raked it in while their NBC's

acted as a PR dept.
