That the Wisconsin Republicans voted for arrest of Democrats. is not on the front page of MSNBC.com or New York Times.com as of 3:50 Eastern Time....Whyis this so???..Maybe later?
I thought this is at least some kind of national news...
Guess I am not a very good news editor..?

2. It's not just a media blackout.
It's a media lost weekend.

I hope so..but wouldn't bet on much coverage..
It is so clear on this that the Pukes have steped over the line,
that corporate media knows
it is bad for their side..Kinda looks bad to arrest someone who doesn't show up to work? eh?

6. Because it does not help the elites
stop relying on elite media, they don't care about this little revolt.

It will NOT be televised, but it will be on twitter.

7. The media has real power. We protest, they sidestep & pretend it didn't happen. Then what?
Edited on Thu Mar-03-11 04:19 PM by CrossChris
Do we stamp our feet until the corporate media acts as the way a media that was somehow beholden to the public would?

I'm not challenging the OP, I'm asking this as a sincere question. Now what do we do?

10. +1. *Yesterday I called it the most under-reported story of the day
and i stand by that - those fuckers. People are soooo stupid to ever vote republican. Yes, I am VERY unhappy with the Dems and I don't try to hide it - but that is no excuse to vote republican - they are not an option at this point - if they ever were.

11. I looked back at 6pm Eastern and again nothing...but..I did see
Edited on Thu Mar-03-11 06:14 PM by Stuart G
a headline about some bullets that were found around the capital building in Madison????, how much it would cost to fix the building up due to protester's signs (due to tape???) ..............that was on the front page..MSNBC...

Now at the New York Times..there was nothing........about the Wisconsin State Senate Republicans voting for the arrest of the Democrats
but there was something about on the front page about the NFL and its union extending talks ..wonderful..
..(I did not read that article about the NFL...thank you..)

Also: Perhaps others can report on if this made the evening news... I am sure that the bullets were reported by FOX propaganda with a statement that shooters were everywhere...(there were just bullets..nothing more..)
