Idea for (R) Convention protestors

[bluestateguy]

Just a quick suggestion: It might be nice to assemble large protest crowds around the NYC bureaus of the major news stations. Not only would that force the media whores to pay attention to the protests, it might also generate a real national debate about corporate control of the media.

1. Agreed

I've been suggesting the same thing for quite a while.

Get a million people in front of CNN @ Columbus Circle

3. Let's see if I'm the first to say it.. *Looks around*

Welcome to DU anti-imperialist! :hi:

7. That would be MOST intriguing. If nothing else, it'd be awfully hard

for the media to overlook.

Might be an excellent additional protest strategy.

And welcome to DU!

2. I wonder if it is going to be like Chicago

1968

4. WORST

actually, WORST...

Chicago will look like a walk in the park

5. I think that's exactly what Rove wants

That way Republicans can whine in front of the cameras with lines that go something like this:

"These extremist protestors are spitting on the sacrifices of the police and firefighters who sacrificed so much on 9/11..blah, blah, blah..."

[Guaranteed]

6. Good call. nt
