LA Times ignores Saunders filibuster
12/11/2010

Sen. Bernie Saunders not in the L.A Times: Persona non-grata

Can you imagine a Libertarian standing in line for tickets for the Broadway musical: Atlas Shrugged for at least 45 minutes. These rugged individuals would start calling for their mothers. What Senator Bernie Saunders did yesterday I could never do? It took a Democratic Socialists who has grandchildren to stand on his feet for 8 hours. Who is the real rugged individual?
Filibuster and I mean a real filibuster is rare in the senate! You’d think a renowned newspaper like The Los Angeles Time would give coverage to Senator Saunders who performed a historical fete. Not even a couple of lines! WTF!!!! If the times do not do a report on Saunders in Sunday’s paper, I will cancel my subscription on Monday. Didn’t some knucklehead from Fox news call The L.A. Times a liberal paper?

at the 2006 White House Correspondents' dinner. Maybe it's something in the printer's ink.

4. The media has largely ignored this
You'll have to put this in the Soviet-era Pravda file, I guess. The corporate press doesn't cover anything that doesn't further the goals of the handful of plutocrats that own virtually all the media in the country. That way, it "didn't happen." The same thing happened with the millions marching against the Iraq invasion. In the US media, it was hardly covered at all.

5. The LA Times became a right wing rag years ago.
Remember, they fired Robert Scheer? Good catch on their non-coverage of Sanders.
