Why aren't we seeing what's going on in Wisconsin live
Why is M$Greedia not showing this?

This is beyond disgraceful.
Block up CNN and M$NBComcast mailboxes

1. Here you go
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/afl-cio-2010-rally

Tweet it, link it, email it, post it. I've tweeted it and linked it on my LiveJournal.

If they won't show it, we have to get it out there.

2. It's not important. Charlie Sheen got fired from his sitcom!
Gotta focus on the BIG news stories...

5. The networks have camera crews inside the building
The guy who's been sending the video stream on upstreamTV just pointed his camera at some network crews inside. He said he wanted to prove that the networks were purposely NOT showing this, even though they are shooting video of it.

12. I'm watching the link you posted
but this should be covered by the big networks and cable channels. This is undiluted fuckry. They fly across the globe to cover protests and riots but ignore a peaceful protest that is two weeks old at home.

Give me a fucking break. This is ridiculous.

8. The MSM is trying to paint us ugly.
True, everyone is hostile to Fox News... But just review their coverage from last night and you'll get a sense of how badly this is going.

10. The MSM are our enemy! They need to be not paid attention to and
their advertisers boycotted as enemies of the people. I watch them only to understand what and how my enemy is thinking.

33. by the time i was a teenager i had had enough
with the talking heads connecting the dots for me.... putting right wing wealth favorizing spin on everything, putting anti cannabis spin on everything they could.... professional brain washers is all the MSM is. they work for their rich masters and tell the "truth" those rich masters want to hear. the worst part is that no direction from above is needed, as with Hitler and the Nazis people simply have an idea of what those above them want and go about competing to be the biggest asshole in order to do what they think their higher ups want them to do, and all the while the higher ups can say "we never asked for that".... brilliant if you ask me, but against my interests so i fight them every time i get into a classroom full of kids and teach!

14. I turned MSM schmooze off months ago.
If we hope to be informed, TV and radio aren't the healthy media. They provide entertainment in a form to tranquilize and anesthetize.

Turn
it
off.

20. That is how they sneak..
up on you because while we are not watching they are feeding their lies to the misinformed. We need to keep up with what they are doing so that we can knock those lies down..

25. Truth is the best weapon against lies.
If somebody passes the lie on to me, I know where to send that somebody to find the truth. I don't tell them. I don't lecture. I just send a well informed link (or print it out for the disconnected) and hope that they are open minded enough to see the truth, believe the truth, and respond to the truth.

I don't need to preview the lie to recognize it and knock it down.

21. If it turns violent, it will be their Lead story..this is the best tweet of the day

@CNN @CSPAN @NBC @ABC @CBS We are the media now. You have abdicated your responsibility as journalists by not covering #wiunion protests.

22. because the MSM is there to hypnotise and brain wash the masses
not educate them. the protest in WI does not fit the meme that "all is well here" and the other meme that "republicans fix everything by lowering taxes"....

24. it doesn't matter
if people are still turning on a tv to be TOLD things instead of reading multiple sources and drawing their own conclusions on the internet that is the real problem. why in the hell would people turn on a tv and be told one networks interpretation of what is going on when they can just reserach it in a few minutes on the net?

Just flipped through a few channels, on Fox
the newscaster reporting from outside the capital building said "They hate me because I'm a reporter here."

No, asshat--they hate you because you are only reporting LIES. FOX NEWS LIES!!
