CNN will cover the Teabagger events that will take place all day today.
Wonderful. Not one mention of antiwar demonstrations that took place for 7 years and that are taking place now. No, but crybaby Teabagger Attention Whoring Racist Hatemongers get all the coverage they need to spread their hatred and misinformed lies.

Nice work CNN. Again, you prove what corporate whores you are.

1. ???
I do not know what you're referring to.

But I do know that C-SPAN devoted coverage to a lot of antiwar rallies in DC over the past few years. That was cool.

4. "Don't those people have jobs?!!"
The standard cry from the right when we protest.

5. Actually, I'm OK with covering the teabagger events. I expect
them to have the same effect as the Sarah Palin rallies did.

15. I agree....
Put their idiocy on display for the world to see. I think it's having the effect of turning off potential supporters to their cause.

7. Or Katrina
and the non-progress made in NOLA. Isn't it 4 years ago today? Sorry I'm so batshit crazy - so many things happening it's hard for my little brain to grasp it all.

9. Of course they will!
CNN and the rest of corporate mainstream news are not in the business of reporting news. It is all about dosing the American public with regular doses of propaganda, lies, misdirection and the irrelevant.

13. Would there be any point in our emailing them, en masse, to cover
the Other Side of the issue?..Either through the counter-protestors who will be there OR through the pro-reform rallies?
