Why not protest the MSM at the inauguration?

[Greybnk48]

Since that's the real enemy here and no one will get near the motorcade? Get in their faces and show the world THEY'RE frauds too. After yesterday the world knows Bush is a fraud--again.

[fertilizeonarbusto]

1. Great idea!

They are just as much to blame.

[Greybnk48]

2. If not more.

[anamandujano]

16. much much more so

The only way we'll ever get any truth on the news is to show those repuke enabling whores the door.

[sportndandy]

3. Boycott advertisers

Inform the companies that you are boycotting why it is that you are doing so. Tell them you will buy their products if they can show an effort in trying to bring balance to the news shows on which they adverise.

[Greybnk48]

5. good idea

but I'm running out of places to shop and things to buy as it is:o

I will do this, by the way, starting today.

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. There are lots of places

to shop :)

25. That's not true

None of the "blue" stores listed on this page are available in my area.

See - I still have to eat and buy clothes, so my only choice is to go to the LEAST Republican plaza. In my case, that's Target, Sears and Kroger's.

In my defense, I DID ask (beg) Costco to come here. They were very nice about writing me back and explaining why they couldn't.

[GreenPartyVoter]

30. This is why I love shopping online. :^)

[donheld]

4. You are quite right

Unless we demand a return to a real free press that tells the real story we have little hope.

[jasmeel]

6. I already don't watch the MSM--what can be done at the

inauguration?

[euler]

8. Citizens arrest, maybe ?

Burn Bush in effigy ?
Passe, we need something new, that's never been done.

[Vinnie From Indy]

7. I Agree 100% Here are some sign ideas for the parade route.

I hope that as far as the eye can see, their are signs trashing the mainstream media. Here are a few ides for signs:

"Your TV is LYING to you!"

"ALL THE NETWORKS ARE LYING"

"C.N.N. - Certainly NOT NEWS"

"TIM RUSSERT IS A GOP OPERATIVE"

"FOX NEWS IS FOR NAZIS"

"RUSH LIMBAUGH IS FUCKED UP, LITERALLY!"

"JOE SCARBOROUGH WORSHIPS THE DEVIL"

"HANNITY IS FRENCH FOR 'LYING SACK OF SHIT'"

"ANN COULTER IS REALLY A MAN"

"FOX NEWS - A TSUNAMI OF LIES"

"AMERICAN MEDIA IS CORRUPT"

etc.

"

[Daphne08]

32. Bwahahahahahahaaaa

"ANN COULTER IS REALLY A MAN"

Too funny!!

[yurbud]

9. We need to get Ukranian on their asses

We should have a continuous presence outside networks, White House, Congress, and Sacramento and whatever the hell Florida's capitol is signs summing up their crimes in the case of government offices, and stories they aren't covering outside the networks.

What we really need is a Tianamen Square demonstration. Stay there until we get paper ballots.

[anamandujano]

18. another suggestion for a sign

The Ukraine has clean elections--we don't!

[yurbud]

19. Exit polls matter in Ukraine but not US?!

and any variation thereof

[anamandujano]

28. Actually, the best is your post that began this sequence.

"Let's go Ukranian on their asses", or a variation thereof.

[yurbud]

29. thank you.

[Greybnk48]

26. LOL

I like "get Ukranian on their asses!"

[yurbud]

10. Go after mainstream media with ignored stories

COVER BUSH OUTING CIA AGENT

COVER BUSH IRAQ LIES

COVER PRIVATIZATION (THEFT) OF IRAQ

ALL YOUR EXPERTS WERE WRONG ABOUT IRAQ

COVER SAUDI TERROR MONEY

COVER WHO PROFITS FROM PRIVATIZING SOCIAL SECURITY

COVER ARNOLD AND ENERGY PIRATES

[Vinnie From Indy]

11. kick n/t

[goclark]

17. Great idea, educate while you march

[Clark2008]

27. Instead of Covering Your Asses...

Cover How Texas is Failing in Education after Bush

Cover House of Saud

Cover Election Fraud

Cover ANYTHING Besides the Crime Du Jour (of course, that's French and the protester will be executed)

Cover UNDER-Employment

[rumpel]

13. The only thing that will sway them is to make a list of

advertisers...
and tell them to advertise instead on "good" webjournal sites.

[mordarlar]

14. Good idea. We have started an action thread...

to get all these ideas in one spot :) Could you bring this?

15. I was there in 2000 and the protest got no coverage -

it was huge but you would never know to look at the media coverage. Very discouraging.

You are right, dealing with the media is as big or bigger an issue than election reform.

[Greybnk48]

20. Right!

What I had in mind when I wrote this (but was not very clear) was for those who are going on the 20th to seek out the media cameras and reporters on the streets and get intheir faces with some of the signs that have been suggested in this thread.

[rumpel]

21. Also, there should be tons of posts all over the net and to the MSMeditors

that xxx has lost credibility with (me) because xxx is (bought loudspeaker of WH) and no longer journalism. Therefore (I) am supporting Independent media outlets, where the "real" news is being reported.

P.S independent media and "foreign media"

ouch!

[Greybnk48]

24. It would be great

if we could get all of us who have to be home on the 20th to support those in DC by emailing the media as you suggest--hit em hard. Let them know we turn our backs to them too!!

[marions ghost]

31. good idea

that is --to email the major media with feedback on January 20.

We're turning our backs on George Bush today and we're turning YOU OFF."

[Niche]

22. Signs that out the media LIES! That would tell the World...

a lot just in that. the election, the lie that snatch got he popular vote etc. etc. MEDIA LIES!

[rumpel]

23. Remember Pentagon admitted using the MSM for propaganda

towards enemy. (embeds and all being fed balloney)

edited to add PS

use their own internal disputes on this on posters, let the "faithful" know.

or is this also going to be termed "conspiracy theory" ? so be it!

[LibDemAlways]

33. During a big anti-war March in NYC last year

the CNN reporter was booed by marchers, and I'll never forget the look of complete bewilderment on her face as she reported, "They seem to be mad at us." Clueless.
