CNN - "Activists picket health insurance executives" Led By Howard Dean!

[TomCADem]

More than a thousand protesters, yet where is the coverage? Worse, the only coverage given is by conservative commentators complaining that references to the protest is evidence of liberal media bias. Fox News is happy to substitute news clips in order to inflate the numbers of a astro-turf tea party protests, but the corporate media does its best to minimize and discredit protests in support of health care reform.

It is a divide and conquer strategy.

Washington (CNN) - Activists ratcheted up the pressure for health care reform Tuesday, picketing in front of a hotel where a group of insurance industry leaders were meeting.

More than 1,000 protesters, including representatives of organized labor, marched through downtown Washington before stopping in front of the Ritz Carlton, site of the annual conference of America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), an insurance industry lobbying group.

"We're fired up (and) can't take no more," the marchers chanted as they unfurled an oversized roll of yellow police tape emblazoned with the words "corporate crime scene."

They were led by, among others, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, a prominent backer of reform legislation.

2. Where was the wall to wall coverage of the M$M hanging onto the words of a former

Gov who did complete a term and did run for President... Oh where oh where could that press have gone?

4. To covering Sarah Palin!

A (Republican) dropout governor who failed to run for vice president, albeit more recently, for doing media stunts.

That's the "liberal media" at work for you. Caring more about people vying for attention without substance rather than someone like Howard Dean, whose work actually matters to Americans.

5. Remember When Fox News Ran An Ad Promoting Tea Parties...

...and falsely asking why other networks weren't there? Why can't the other networks run similar ads asking where is Fox News?
