Is it time to start picketing Corporate Media offices? With
Edited on Mon Dec-13-04 04:58 PM by texpatriot2004
Election Fraud signs and Conspiracy of Silence signs. Does the media blaster list the locations too? The fact that we can't even count on C-SPAN to cover the Conyers Forum on 12/13/04, a different forum than they covered on 12/8/04 (don't let them sell that we already covered it crap) is outrageous! I think it's time to take to the streets and protest this blackout by our media. What do you think?

1. With you completely!
Where is the outrage?!!! What's the use of having 1000s of channels if we can't even get ONE to cover a story that might interest the 48% of us who DIDN'T VOTE for the Jackass-in-Chief?

3. isn't there some crappy morning show on CNN...
(heh, they're all crappy actually) that is filmed against a glass window to the sidewalk. Must be in Atlanta.

Would be great to just happen to have a poster and stand there while they're yapping nonsense, saying something like: "Why isn't CNN talking about the Election Fraud?"

17. think it's worth it's own thread, this idea?
I'm sure this has been considered before. but now is the best and ripest time for this tactic, imho.

1. would this be breaking any laws (can't see that, but who really knows what's in Pat 1 and Patsy 2)?

2. are the shows done realtime LIVE or is there a delay built in for editing for just this sort of thing?

3. so far NYC and Atlanta have this convenience for 'dissidents' - any other locations?

12. Mahhattan, thanks. Any DUers in Manhattan? What are the
laws for protesting in Manhattan? Any permits required? I am sure that there are plenty of Dems in Manhattan. Anyone there willing to take a stand on this?

10. What ever happened to that protest scheduled to be
in front of FOXNEWS in Manhattan. The fox studio is on the second floor and apparently has a wall of glass to the street, as well. Within shot of megaphones I would think!

21. I'm in NJ-- I have thursday and friday off --I'm going
By my self--if I have to--Whos in the area?

What are you doing? When? Also--

http://www.51capitalmarch.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=New_Jersey;action=display;num=1103044224

This did work in Ukraine---then one newscaster broke down and refused to lie on air--and that was the start of the truth coming out--

Theres no reason someone in NYC cant get a sign and go for an hour before work to get on one of the morining shows they go live from the street-----

24. Well, MM would be great, but we could video it ourselves if
someone has a recorder. Then put it on the web and like everything else, watch it grow. Of course, I believe if we are loud enough,long enough, they will cover it.

address of every Corporate Media studio here in this thread so we can orchestrate this event?

26. DO we need all the MSM?
My thought was to target the 3 broadcast networks. Or even just one.

For someone else who posted earlier---I left a link to the 51 caps site above-- Please use it.

If you can call Randi or Mike please do-- I work untill 9pm.
ASk for peeps to go to the 51capitalsmarch site--click on Message baord--then click on NJ.

I have already left a link above --use it.

27. Good idea to target the main 3, I think we should do all three not
single out one. I didn't know if we were including any cable stations or not but I like your idea to do the 3 main networks.

I get that you are suggesting we use the 51 Capital site as a resource, is that correct?

I will look for the link above.

Thanks.

28. Yup 51 caps---site--
Later tonite I should have the final details posted and Kip said then it will go up as a call to action--on the front page.

If we get enuf Peeps--we can cover the Big 3--otherwise targeting just one makes sense. Heck -- if we get 200,000 then we can cover more.

Make like a Ukrainian !!!!
