5. Did this receive any coverage on the MSM?

I was wondering about this event earlier, and I did not see it mentioned on cable today. Granted, I did not have it on all day, but when it was on, it featured a lot of coverage of the two popes who will be granted sainthood. I do recognize what an important event that will be, but I think this should have received more coverage. Perhaps there was some that I missed???

This really moved me - look what I lived to see -Cowboys and Indians united against landgrabbing corporations and destruction of the environment. Magnificent indeed!
