I doubt if people are that much different. "Whining" is something Freepers love to say.

Another way to look at your stats. 3 million versus 1/2 million, a ratio of 6 to one. There was no way protest coverage reached that ratio, it seemed to me more like about 60:1 or even zero.

Corporate TV news is simply marginalizing the group they do not want to be heard, "whining" or not.

Perhaps people in those days whined just as much, but their "whine" was limited to a smaller circle of acquaintances: today, with the Internet and other media like weblogs, the "whining" is more visible and audible to a much larger group of acquaintances.

I'm going to remain silent when I fail to pay the Corporate TV news for next years news programming subscription, however. In fact, I won't be buying ANY news. Sheesh, with all the commercials they have, they should be paying us to watch thier raving madness.
