Media Blackout? What else is new? The Revolution will not be televised.

Discussion in 'Politics & Religion' started by guerilla, Dec 21, 2007.

    Video from the Santa Monica Tea Party, not covered by the Mainstream Media, and yet smaller events usually get this kind of coverage.

    Over 1,000 people marching the streets, and not a camera crew to be found. Throwing mock crates marked with government policy and departments into the Pacific ocean, and barely a blurb in the local papers.

    Thank God for the internet. The revolution will not be televised, but it is binary.

    It is going to get more difficult for them to ignore him as the weeks pass by. ;)

    The advent of the internet could atually be the thing that saves the sheeple, only time will tell.

    I must admit, that is nuts. The news covers much, much smaller events at every turn.

    Even CNN just had a long segment on Huckabee, then a short (minute or two) segment on Ron Paul, while discussing "Money-Bombs"... I wish there was a news station I liked, haha...

    lol, I read on the RPForums that a Brit supporter just lodged an official complaint with the BBC for lack of coverage.

    Freedom is popular!

    news crews are busy f***ing and sucking. you got that fake dyke nancy grace on cnn pretending to care about cases that nobody even cares about. but hey, the media is reporting it so it must be important right? some girl gets lost in europe and that somehow is the front story for awhile, even though that dumb sh*t happens all the time. anything to get people distracted from the real "news". then you got katie couric trying to make a career move that has failed, but has been successful looking like an over-aged slut. and bill o'rly still owns fox news, the irish dictatorship way.



    wow.. never let irish people into politics.

    I don't think the issue is that O'Reilly is Irish. If you stuck him in an Irish pub back on the Island, I guarantee he would find himself in a donnybrook within half an hour, and be taught some humility by the local folk.

    No, Paul was not there.

    Nor was he in Boston, or Austin Texas.

    Boston
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KCrvxZAsO8

    Austin (7 block long march)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvGS12EoZUE

    There were also Tea Parties in Wisconsin, Columbus Ohio, Las Vegas and others.

    Dr. Paul was not at any of these events. The campaign did not organize any of these events.

    I'm not kidding when I say that the grassroots is huge, and active.

    This is what the grassroots is capable of.

    Did you hear the latest news? Britney Spears' sister is pregnant. It's big with the corporate media. They give it so much attention you'd think it was her brother!

    Larry is a very successful investor, a very clever man. Many of the great private investors believe in Paul's view on economics, which might explain why they make so much money. They understand where the system is weakest, strongest and where the "smart money" is.

    The beautiful thing about Mr. Leppard is as with his USA Today ad, he has posted his plans at the RonPaulForum, and allowed other people in the grassroots to contribute, edit, suggest etc. The ads are initiated, paid for and driven by him, but they are a community effort. One of the great things about this grassroots campaign.

    Agreed.. Seems to be all CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, CBS, etc., are interested in.. If there is no bad news in Iraq, it's tabloid time...

    I actually see MSNBC reporting on alot of good news in Iraq, to me it surely appears most news agencies don't cover the 'bads' nearly as much as they should.

    Notice you left fox out of that list, the most out of touch with reality network out there :D

    No Mia, if it is someone other than the controlled scumbags that you love so much then it doesn't get a mention.

    But as I said before the internet will eventually win through because unlike the controlled MSM this one ain't controlled darling. :)
