msnbc is doing extensive coverage
of the basket brawl prosecution, but the hearing get practically nil. The largest crime of the century effecting the entire world, and we get d level coverage. the media is almost as criminal as the repugs.

4. Short and sweet to MSNBC
I just sat through the Conyers hearing on CSPAN. I'm very much looking forward to hearing any kind of coverage from you on the state of our voting rights and democracy which I think should take precedence over a basketball brawl.
Sincerely,
xxxxxxxx

Anyone know any other MSM e-mail addresses?

2. Almost?
the media is almost as criminal as the repugs.

They are right there in bed with them. They are accomplices, straight up.

7. We will have to do it ourselves
We cannot depend on MSM, DNC or anyone else.

We cannot rally the people IF THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING.
They cannot know what's happening IF SOMEONE DOESN'T TELL THEM.

We need a grassroots advertising campaign.

--Billboards
--Newspaper & TV ads

Instead of donating our hard-earned dollars to the DNC where it disappears into the abyss, we need a grassroots advertising fund to SPREAD THE TRUTH.

And we need it now.

8. You are so right
It is up to us on the ground, to spread the news of the day. MSM has become irrelevent and hopeless. We have to become the new spreaders of the news. I don't watch any of them and haven't bothered to email my complaints. There used to be a formula years ago that the media used, that said that people who enjoy their shows watch x amount of time and people who hate their shows watch even longer. I don't want to give them any hope. It is up to us, no doubt about it.

11. That's it! I'm going to the next hearing wearing a black-lace corset,
fishnet stockings, 3-inch stiletto heels, and carrying a 6-foot whip.

You think that might get the MSM to pay attention? All they care about is sex and violence.

12. You have my vote, lol. Considering the media, I'd say our best
chances are Reuter's, Le Monde and Pravda

14. I bet Oberman will cover it on Countdown this evening. I have noticed
when I get an auto email of what he will cover it doesn't include the election situation. It hasn't for about a week, but then he always covers some detail on it.

16. At least they are consistant...
The week before Black Tuesday MSNBC spent more time showing Ashley Simpson's SNL lip synching video than they did on any bad news about Iraq or chimp's failures as commander in thief..all of shrub's crap was being posted on the blogs <copied and pasted from current online news websites--AP, Reuters, etc..> and what was on MSNBC literally every 30 minutes?? Was it dirty deals with the shrubites?, How Iraq mess was getting worse and worse by the second?? NOPE...."And next up, clips from SNL and anyone under the sun that we can interview about it..." ARRGGHHH.
