Reply #28: BBC maybe more responsive [View All]

[marions ghost]

I follow the BBC as much as American news now, tho it's not always there for us either. But the BBC at least gets around to reporting whatever is "news." C-span covers some demonstrations in their thankfully bland, sort of objective sort of way-- and non-profit Link TV (obscure cable channel)is out there also(Amy Goodman appears on Link)It is trying to be a voice of the People.

I don't think we should give up on peaceful protest rallies whatsoever. They are real, direct, inspiring--they energize those of our persuasion everywhere. They take a lot of effort to organize, and they deserve to be covered by a responsive news media. CNN is out there rabidly covering Ukranian election protests ... Challenge the US media on this bias.

These days documentaries of rallies can be made, stills and clips can be distributed on the net, etc. We should not be putting up with this blatant media neglect of groups of concerned American citizens who want to voice their opinions openly. The Demoralized say street protests are useless. Not true--they are effective, which is why they are stifled. Lack of media visibility can be overcome. Identify and support media that support us. GROW NEW MEDIA. Forget the rest.
