Is the NEWS MEDIA off work this weekend?

It seems like the word TRUCK has not been seen on the media at all this week end (10-11,12,&13)

They pretty well have Washington D.C. plugged up. I am told (by private communications) that barricades, called "Barry-cades" by truckers and Veterans have been torn down, taken apart and delivered to the White House; several times.

So where are the interrupt everything five times a minute, media? How about the "jack booted thugs, with guns. who so readily attack small groups of private citizens?

Anybody home?

Yeah, wondered about the 'broad coverage'.

As my old 84 year young Navy veteran neighbor tells...."Learned in Korea that the news they get at home, is what the higher-ups weant them to get".....Don't think the news isn't censored, and not put in the forefront in todays liberal media.
Heck, the big three are beginning make PBS look conservative....some of the time!

What News media are you talking about? I haven't seen a real News media in the past 10 years. All they do is read what the government puts out.

Read "Into The Buzzsaw." You don't watch "news" on tv. You watch "entertainment news." It is interesting to me though, when people see the light that what is fed is not what they expected. NBC News tonight decided that what was important was reporting the loudest football stadium and that a girl who had a leg removed could still sing the national anthem.

For trade magazines that align well with the product our company produces, we write press releases. They go into the rag unedited. This is what our news media has become. The fed gov releases media talking points, and the media puts them out unedited, with no journalism involvement whatsoever. We've got our politburo, and we've got our Pravda. How nice.

So stop relying on your domestic media - go international instead. The barricades are certainly on the news on Canadian media and probably European too (I haven't bothered to look). Nothing about the trucks though, that was a bust.
