Gil Scott-Heron was right - the Occupy Wall St revolution was NOT televised

[alp227]

So far, as I posted at the media board, the broadcast TV networks have ignored Occupy Wall Street.

And suddenly I thought about the recently deceased Gil Scott-Heron's "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised".

It's like how state-run media in Egypt and Syria wouldn't cover the protests unless from the government's hostile POV, or how Chinese state-run media has ignored the Tiananmen protests since 1989.

Meanwhile even though the US is supposedly a free-speech democracy the corporate media won't show ANY story that would lose its advertisers, whether investigations into the energy industry, financial sector, or now a protest against the very capitalist pigs who provide financial support for the media owners. Hell, PBS would've lost support from Bank of America had NewsHour even run a brief item on OWS.
