Did one of the anti-war marches of several hundred thousand people ever lead the network news?

Thought not.....

But when the Corporate Fascists want to kill healthcare reform of any kind, a march by 25,000 moronic troglodytes leads the network news.

The sooner the MSM goes :nuke:, the better. Rest mofos, but not in peace. :argh:

1. You want MSM to go. Stop paying your cable bill.

Otherwise you are paying the talking heads to spit in your face.

3. Oh. But what about those of us who may enjoy other things cable/satellite

has to offer? See, a lot of us like sporting events and without cable, we couldn't watch. A lot of us like some of the documentary type stuff on cable and without it, we couldn't watch. You get the idea. If we don't pay our cable bill we don't get stuff we enjoy. So it really isn't as simple as you seem to think it is.

5. You have your choice to spend your money and they have their choice on formats, reporters and bias

With the money you paid them.

4. Agreed. I got rid of Comcast and Bell ... I'm tethered to the Internets with my cell phone

It's sort of OK. You can't watch a video without gaps.

2. It's so obvious, isn't it. Anti-war? The msm couldn't be bothered, or

had their orders not to cover all those concerned liberals.

6. Blatantly obvious......

I know I shouldn't have turned on NBC Nightly News but I just wanted to see if they'd lead with it, as I expected. Needless to say, they lived up to expectations.

7. I watched, too. They questioned the park police's numbers.

VERY obvious. Where did reporters' integrity go?

9. Bizarre bias

I went to the Teaparty protest yesterday just for curiousity's sake, and it was interesting how many of the protesters claimed that the event wouldn't be covered in the mainstream media (the only cable network I saw was Fox). Very rarely were anti-war protests covered as well. However, taking this into account...apparently the MSM doesn't cover the far left or the far right? Interesting implications. Anyway, it's certainly very intriguing to hear the same claims about lack of coverage coming from both sides.
