CSpan watchers - Anyone know # of teabag events the 'news' networks, CSpan covered last year?

[blm]

Certainly would like to compare the teabag events AND crowd numbers that were given coverage, sometimes wall to wall coverage, and compare it to what has been going on in Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan the last 3 weeks.

Especially CSpan.

1. All of them? (pace Sarah P.) nt

11. Yep...Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann can get any camera they want. 200k protesting workers? Nah.

No news there to national news production offices.

2. I did a search on their Video Library and it came up with 291 results

So in the archive so far, almost 300 tea bagger events/programs. Wisconsin? 21.

9. Wow.....and probably with only 5% of the crowd numbers in Wisconsin.

Corporate media is definitely doing the bidding of the toilet paper ad buyers....Koch Industries.

3. Michael Moore just twitted this:

MMFlint Michael Moore
Even w/o quake, CNN/MSNBC would not b live @ rally. TV is a 20thCen device. Now we have internet 2 bypass them. Watch WI live on my site.

4. +1

@ Michael Moore for 20th century vs 21st century. But it will require those who use 21st century media to pass on the truth and real information to those who don't have it or can't work it.

5. CNN / MSNBC / FOX are corporate propaganda

Why would any of the stations possibly cover this?

[blm]

10. media execs are looking forward to breaking THEIR unions, too...THAT'S the real reason.

6. Time to email..

7. Maybe we should hire one busload of teabaggers to our events

[mod mom]

8. Let's face it this is reminiscent of war protests, fraudulent election protects

but yet if 25 baggers show up somewhere, they get full media coverage thanks to their sponsor Koch Bros & Dick Armey. :mad:

12. if cspan leaned left, they would be defunded

if yesterdays protesters were rabid gun toting teabaggers, the media would be predicting the end of the democratic party and a mandate to turn the country over immediately to the teafuckers.

13. Actually they aren't funded at all - they are a corporation

they just take advantage of free material - like The Weather Channel
