6. I'm extremely frustrated about the 'media' issue.

3. Thanks. I think it will work more effectively if everyone gets
to the same networks. This list is great. For what it is worth, I just wrote them and asked them why they are ignoring the greatest national story of the last three weeks. Where are they??

7. The media is busy...
..."covering" the earthquake/tsunami/reactor crisis in Japan. You can see the gleam in their eyes, they really love this stuff - and I just know many/most of them are hoping for a massive meltdown. Oh they'd never say so, but I can just feel many of them are hoping for the worst. To them it will make great TV. A massive tragedy like that is excellent for ratings.

Just keep the protests up in Wisconsin, there's bound to be a slow news day sometime soon so we can get some real coverage.

I did actually flip around and was surprised to see Fox covering Madison, but it's Fox so they were naturally casting the Democrats as the villains and reassuring their audience that the people of Wisconsin really love Walker and this new law.

8. Just e-mailed CNN.
Here is what I wrote:

I realize that the news out of Japan is a huge story that must be covered, however, I would think that a big news station such as CNN would be able to cover more than one story in a day. I'm referring to the news story in WI. Are you even aware that there was a huge rally in Madison that affects our country? You covered that story just the way you covered the protests before the Iraq invasion, which was no coverage. Sure wish Ted Turner still owned CNN. Then it was truly a great news station. Now? Not so much.
