News Blackout
Posted by Jill | 6:13 AM
A few dozen people put on costumes and show up at politicians' Town Hall meetings and the media decide it's a mass movement.

Over 60,000 people demonstrate against Wall Street in New York City, and it's completely ignored.



Maybe it's because our demonstrations have a sense of fun and goofiness and we don't talk about guns and killing people who don't agree.

I really wish the mainstream media would cover this, but so far, coverage has been minimal.

On the bright side, the international media has noticed!
