I'd like to watch coverage of the protests on TV

[taterguy]

Is the revolution being televised?

[valerief]

1. You mean just like all the massive Iraq antiwar protests? They, too, weren't televised, but

they happened.

[aquart]

2. I saw it on CBS at noon and just now on ABC.

So I suggest you turn on the TV.

3. You can see good coverage on RT if you get it on your cable lineup

and on Current TV on Keith Olbermann every day. You can watch their live feed where you see the action unfiltered by TV. You can also watch Democracy Now eg, and Al Jazeera. Watching the US MSM is not exactly the way to get the facts. CNN eg, has been caught a couple of times 'coloring' the story. And the NYT editing the facts, so you have to check everything you see on the MSM which is why it's probably better to watch the live feed and then the foreign media which seems to KNOW 'what they want' while the US MSM is still pretending to be puzzled by the whole thing.

11. I LOVE RT!!! they have the best slant (using that word advisedly) of any news network

I've seen on TV

you see POVs there you won't see anywhere else, including current TV

Ted Rall was on yesterday, just one example

when't the last time you saw him?

ever?

12. btw I get RT on my antenna....local 2d string PBS channel, which is MUCH

better than big boy WTTW

check this news lineup--by far the widest ranging set of viewpoints I've seen on any channel. not likely to make the xenophobe set stand up and cheer, but check this out:

from al jazeera to NHK to France 24 to IBA News to Hello Vietnam to....well, check it out

amazing variety

13. Thank you. I love RT also. Tonight, eg, Tom Hartmann had Amy

Goodman on and it was an incredible interview. No commercial interruptions for one thing, and it's the first time I've heard Amy speak for so long without anyone interrupting her, about OWS, about Troy Davis, about the duty of the media in a democracy and her recent victory regarding her arrest a few years ago. She was so passionate, it was just wonderful to be able to listen to her for nearly 30 minutes without interruption. Tom Hartman did not interrupt her at all, he allowed her all the time she needed to speak about the issues she is clearly passionate about.

This is what TV should be like imho. They do some great documentaries also but their news coverage is excellent. They do have on all kinds of people, from across the political spectrum but what I became aware of after watching them for awhile was how many great Liberal voices have been silenced in this country, but can now be heard on RT like Danny Schecter, eg. And of course Tom Hartmann among others. I saw Medea Benjamin also in another interview, and clips of Helen Thomas. As they say, 'we want to hear from you, we won't censor you views even if we do not like them.' And I believe they live up to that. Eg, Tom H. had two Repubs on tonight as he often does. All I can say is he has way more patience for them than I do :-)

We get it on Time Warner and we also get Current. After watching both those networks, I just can't watch the MSM at all. It is so commercialized and so censored. Between RT, Democracy Now, PBS, Al Jazeera (I subscribe to them online) there is little reason to watch our Corporate media anymore.

Thanks for the link, I will check it out :-)

19. yeah.....they have an abundance of interesting guests, who you'll just about

never see on M$M

Richard Wolff was on the other day, too.

thanks for bringing up RT

I've almost started a few threads on it, but figured nobody'd be interested, since I've never seen them mentioned here, and, after all, they HAVE to be COMMies, right?

4. Im listening to the police scanner and the march is going toward

the fed bldg...you can hear the crowd in the background sometimes

[taterguy]

5. That doesn't answer my question in any way shape or form

:eyes:

6. our Roku box lets me watch it on our TV on at least a couple different channels

there's been an Occupy(cityname) stream in the News category of the Justin.tv channel
(free private channel available here: http://roku.permanence.com/ )

and on one of the featured streams, "citizen media is not a crime," on the Nowhere TV channel (free, private, available here: http://www.thenowhereman.com/roku/ )

[Tx4obama]

7. Here's a LIVE STREAM link to watch it ONLINE

9. I wanted to watch it on TV

:eyes: :eyes:

10. And I want to win the lottery. We don't always get what we want. n/t

[taterguy]

14. I don't give a flying fuck about the lottery. I just asked where I could watch protests on TV

[sabrina 1]

15. Read my post above. It is being televised, but the best coverage.

is on RT and Al Jazeera, and Current, also MSNBC's shows, Laurence O'Donnell and Ed Schultz, and I believe Rachel is covering it also. CNN and FOX are doing as expected, trying to diminish it since they can't ignore it anymore.

[taterguy]

16. Useless info for those of us without cable

[sabrina 1]

17. No, you can access all of those broadcasts on your computer.

If I miss them on cable, I go their websites and watch them there. RT eg, puts almost everything it broadcasts on TV, on Utube so it's not at all useless information. I am assuming since I'm talking to you on the computer, that you do have access to Utube and the websites of all those I mentioned. Current, MSNBC, RT, Al Jazeera are all available online as well as on TV.

18. Sigh
