(53,661 posts)Some of us had watchers to MSM. For example, CNN and MSNBC put on rerun news and didn't show a peep, although we saw thousands in the streets in big cities. We'd organized for weeks, made the announcement everywhere we could.
We saw the police, we were in contact, but at the end of the day we'd do them, it was like we were hallucinating. It didn't happen for anyone but us, since it was not covered at all. It's not like the sixties, eventies - or even the eighties. It's all sham news.
Occupy didn't get much MSM, either. Obama has his speeches edited. Other events that were previously covered routinely, were not being covered at all. Used to be, that every station had to garner public statements at the end of every year, to prove they had 'operated in the public interest' by giving equal time, free PSAs, etc.
This is why the GOP is getting away with this alternative reality they are maintaining. There is only the Koch echo chamber covered. Take a look at the video posted here by Triana, 'Exposed' on the Koches. After a while, the repetition becomes the truth.
People that know it's a lie or a cover-up, know they'll be seen as wackos if they speak against the meme. The world is flat or it's sunset when it's sunrise, since they said so.
Sorry, yucky day. See ya later.
