Corporate media whores not covering demonstrations/protests on Wall St.

[JohnyCanuck]

Protests took place on Wall St. to protest the bail out plan - and the mainstream news media didn't even mention it

Hundreds of protestors demonstrated agains the proposed $700 Billion bail out plan for the finance and banking industry, yet the national news media in America didn't even report it! Why not? It seems strange that this barely generated a gander from the big news outlets like ABC, CNN, CBS, NBC etc. all of whom have a presence in New York City. Despite having such a large protest event occurring in their backyard, the major news media chose not to tell the American people about it. I had to stumble upon this on the internet to find out about it. That's really indicative of the pathetic state of affairs in the U.S. media today.

Anyway, in case you haven't seen it, I have collected a bunch of video from the protests on Wall Street (Sept. 25) and posted them below. Have a look at what the news media DIDN'T show you! Warning: some of the protest videos contain profanity.

1. Well as a caller on Washington Journal observed this morning

all their guests are pro-bail out while the majority of citizens are against it.
Didn't Cheney say 'we don't watch polls'. Fugg citizens - only corporate thinking counts. Who needs to cover those serfs and their protests.

People on WJ are pissed.

5. Same thing on CNN.

They did have one person opposed to the bill on over the weekend, but they allowed his sparring partner to shout over him almost the entire time.
