it isn't just kids who think that Wall Street bankers got away with a crime... It seems so odd to me that the Tea Party isn't out in force at this protest. It seems so odd that government largesse aimed at rich corporations seems to be OK with them, while government largesse aimed at the disadvantag...

Blackout: CNN, Fox, and MSNBC Ignore Thousands Of US Day Of Rage Protesters

Blackout: CNN, Fox, and MSNBC Ignore Thousands Of US Day Of Rage Protesters

Most Americans are being kept in the dark about the US Day of Rage by the corporate cable news giants at CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC who have imposed a de facto blackout on the protest.

Even though estimates have varied from hundreds to as many as 50,000 protesters flooded into Manhattan and others cities to take part in events around the country to, “nonviolently disrupt the disloyal, incompetent, and corrupt special interests which have usurped our nation’s civil and military power, spawning a host of threats to our liberty, lives and national security,” the three cable news networks have devoted no airtime to the story.

This is becoming an all too familiar scene. In Wisconsin hundreds of thousands of regular people took to the streets each weekend to protest the theft of their rights, and were completely ignored by CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC.

Sarah Palin’s Iowa tea party speech was 1/50 as big as the Wisconsin protests, yet she was deemed worthy of national media coverage.

September 18, 2011, was the day the corporate media blocked news of demonstrations by 60,000 Americans on Wall Street. These protests will continue as those who love their country continue to make it better. This was the day when social networks alone sent us live feeds. We must prepare for the next onslaught and social networks will connect us.

Hartmann: America today is not free | Raw Replay

That was the general theme of a speech given by progressive talk show host Thom Hartmann, appearing over the weekend at the 10th annual Fighting Bob Fest in Madison, Wisconsin.

“I think freedom means the right to have security in our economic system and our banking system, rather than rule by banksters,” he said. “Does freedom mean that business should be allowed to get as big as it can, so that we find ourselves in a situation where six financial institutions control 60 percent of the wealth of this country? … There is not a major industry in this country that is not now more than 70 percent controlled by fewer than six corporations. That is not competition. That’s monopoly. That has nothing to do with competition.

“As Franklin Roosevelt said in 1936, he said, ‘They hide behind the flag and the Constitution, but in their blindness they forget what the flag and the Constitution stand for.’ He said we must stand up to this kind of power. He said, ‘These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain about is that we seek to take away their power. Our commitment to American institutions requires the overthrow of that kind of power.’”

Google CEO Schmidt Admits It's DEMAND That Creates Jobs | Crooks and Liars

‎"SCHMIDT: Well, that's a political question, but the current strategy is ludicrous. You have a situation where the private sector sees essentially no growth in demand. The classic solution is to have the government step in and, with short-term initiatives, help stimulate that demand. If they do it right, they'll invest in income and growth-producing things like highways and bridges and schools, new opportunities for the private sector to go then build businesses."-Nicole Belle.
