Media Whores

CNN

This is the front page of CNN's US coverage section, just captured. The front page of the site also has NOTHING about the nation-wide protests today - but I thought, well, surely the thousands and thousands of people all over the country - far more than we've ever seen for a teabagger rally, would merit U.S. coverage.

Instead, they are featuring a story about a teabagger at the top of their page. Incredible. Why are you paying for propaganda on U.S. news stations? Anyone care to join me and post screen shots of other U.S. media outlets? Are any of them providing information about these protests?

1. I haven't watched CNN since the Iraq invasion.

I don't know why anyone does. There's plenty of sources on line and on other cable channels to make them and Foul News obsolete.

6. I don't watch them either. This is online.

I just want to document the way in which they kowtow to corporate interests by ignoring this nation-wide protest.

You can bet your ass if this were a teabagger rally, it would be big news. Because... look.. teabaggers haven't had a rally in while and they still get top headlines.

2. CNN's been a propaganda tool for fascist agenda for over a decade.

3. I was skeptical of your claim...

so I went to the CNN site. I could find nothing about the protests on the front page.
I even checked to see that I had the 'US edition' of the front page and not the 'International' version.
Amazing.
BTW in 'other news': Kelsey Grammer got married again...

7. That's why I captured the screen

to prove that U.S. news outfits are propaganda arms for corporate interests.

4. ABC News' U.S. front page

Just as I captured the image, the rotating video banner on the top did show a clip about Walker from the opposition side. I'll give them that.

Otherwise... Boehner, Cantor and Gingrich on the front page under the large photo - where your eye is drawn to on the page. Another teabagger entry as well.

When was the last time the teabaggers actually planned a protest, anyway?

Clinton as SoS vis a vis Libya.
