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

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.

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.

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.

@ 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?

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:

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.
