Is there a total M$M blackout on today's rallies?
50 teabaggers show up and it makes headlines around the world.

The middle class rallies across the USA and not a blip.

What a disgusting institution is the corporate-controlled media in our country.

2. The evening network news starts soon. We'll know shortly.
Somewhere on the latest page there was a link to a story on todays solidarity protests from CBS news. Maybe watch for a 15 sec shot there.

15. Watched CNN for over an hour and not ONE mention of it...not even on their bottom scroll
However they did scroll about Charlie Sheen, a coach who pushed a player, and Vanessa Hudgeons new tattoo. CNN has been the stealth FOX for over a decade and now they don't even bother being stealth.

5. Good. Local news is usually a little better at covering rallies
if they're right in their own backyard. Kind of hard to ignore them then, plus the people who participated will be checking to see if they're on the news.

6. How's about launching a youtube channel?
Folks can post there, hopefully a view count builds and they get forced to see.

19. Good idea -- !!
And if we ever succeed in drafting someone like Sen. Bernie Sanders for 2012 --

we'll need alternative ways to watch debates, run debates, etal --

Public needs to begin to get used to side-stepping the corporate-press poo!!

12. Here's part of the story about today's Harrisburg, PA ("Wisconsylvania!!") rally...
It's from tomorrow's Sunday paper (I'm sure this will be updated this evening -- this is probably just the breaking-news version of the story that's being posted early on the Web site)

http://articles.lancasteronline.com/local/4/356536

"...Shouting 'Union," and waving signs that declared "We Are One," and "Wisconsylvania," about 600 people gathered on the steps of the State Capitol in Harrisburg Saturday afternoon to show their support for the public sector unions of Wisconsin whose collective bargaining rights are threatened. ..."

14. My local Fox channel is talking about it right now.
Pretty good coverage, and this is in Tampa.

...and before it ended, they focused on the Tea Baggers going to three specific areas hoping to push for a recall of dems. Go figure.

16. Good question. I rely on others to report on the MSM (and rush,
beck and that "other" place (i guess i am lazy and scared). I did not see anyone from the st. louis stations in jeff city today. I will have to check the local news (and complain, for whatever that's worth!)

21. This is proof that the corporate media is actively working against the people
A huge shift is happening across America and those in power are shaken to the core that we might throw off the yoke they have hung upon us. Let the people who do the work see the profits of their labor.
