Has MSM totally avoided covering Occupy Wallstreet?

[xiamiam]

Keith, Amy Goodman, Al Jazeera, RT and I heard about aol are covering it...my question, since I don't watch tv is..has it even been mentioned much less covered on the supposed national news channels?

1. Front page of Sunday's Daily News.

3. Well, that's good news. But that's a New York City newspaper.

People living in New York know it's happening. It would be nice if someone told the rest of the country about it.

2. Apparently they did more than that...

#OccupyWallStreet allegedly blocked by Twitter from trending page

11. Spend a few days around here

And you would get the impression that this is a story the size of World War II, and anything short of interrupting programming every 30 minutes to announce a new demand or pizza delivery from the tens of dozens gathered is a "blackout".

I just think it is silly. Clearly the story is getting the coverage it merits.

16. For those who Google it or happen to read/see on of those

reporting sources -- The Atlantic Wire, Digital Journal, ninemsn are not widely viewed, I'm guessing.

I think MSM would mean ABC, NBC, CBS -- and most of the people I know rely on the nightly news to keep them apprised.

So I think a more accurate answer would be "no".

5. wow..anyone see any other coverage...downright scary if after one week

of protesting and arrests to be so ignored..little surprises me but this is pretty damned blatant even for them

9. delete

wrong post

6. Fox had one short clip ---if you blinked you might have missed it.

MSM TV appears to have avoided it. Does being Corporately OWNED
have some bearing on what they cover. Just might.

7. yes, but they normally attempt to pretend...nt

13. I keep reading about it in British newspapers...

14. Local NBC affiliate ran a piece during last night's 11 o'clock news

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44656667/ns/us_news-life/#.Tn7KDk9eTs4

and CBS covered it on their national evening news last night and friday night.

There's no media blackout...it's a big story.
