Corporate TV Media Blackout........

Thank god the net is still alive

The TV news last night had at least 15 minutes on it, counting the quickie news and the in-depth "Tagesthemen" ("Themes of the Day&quot . Lots of man/woman-on-the street comments.

No idea what the US media said.

Same people profited.

The agreements are just one huge corporate coup.

What shall we do?

It seems we accept anything now days.

We accept endless war, why not TPP?

We've effectively become sheep.

There must have been some done.

Back then it was a poll on the concept of TTIP. The result was 58% in favor and 25% opposed in the EU as a whole. Opposition to it was strongest in Germany and Austria. From the looks of the crowd in the picture that sentiment may well have changed as the negotiations have gone from concept to specifics.

A Eurobarometer survey from fall 2014, conducted by TNS at the request of the European Commission, found that a majority (58%) of Europeans back a free trade and investment agreement between the EU and the U.S. A quarter are opposed to such a deal. Support for such an agreement is shared by half or more of people in 25 EU Member States. The three countries with particularly low support are Austria (39% favor vs. 53% oppose), Germany (39% vs. 41%) and Luxembourg (40% vs. 43%).

There are eight countries with very strong support, where more than seven-in-ten people back a transatlantic free trade agreement, including the Netherlands (74%), Poland (73%), Denmark (71%) and Ireland (71%). Moreover, there is majority support in countries that together account for 69% of the EU population, 61% of the EU Gross Domestic Product and 59% of EU merchandise exports to the U.S.
