One Nation Rally Gets Ignored By News Media

Even though tens of thousands of people showed up at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. today to support progressive ideas, the media was mostly absent. CNN did some cut ins and most egregiously, even the so called, “liberal news network” MSNBC could not be bothered to provide more than scant limited coverage of an hour or so to the event, but I guess MSNBC viewers should be happy that the network managed to rip itself away from its Lockdown reruns long enough to actually cover a bit of live news.
The pro-conservative bias in the media was most obvious today by the print media framed the rally. For instance, let’s compare how CNN’s wire service described both the One Nation and the Beck rallies. @ link

Stella, Stella, Stella! Wow, I've no clue what the rant is about, but I'll not get into a tit for tat, because it's just a waste of time. Plus, logic never works with "liberals" because y'all are emotion driven, not fact driven. BUT, according to your definition of "Fascism", it would certainly appear to me that the communists/democrats are Fascists since they represent the minority viewpoint, but dictate against the will of the majority. I would think the Leftists are the anti-individualists, the evidence speaks for itself. There's no room to debate that fact. Just look at the agenda the man-child and his goons have pushed on the nation since they've had a grip on the collective national testicles!
Certainly, over 100 years ago, unions were needed to combat the greed of the evil robber barons, BUT, in the 21st century, they are just sponges driving up the cost of labor and destroying American productivity. The majority of the union members are not communists, but the dues that are taken from their pay checks goes to support communist candidates and they have no say in who gets their "contributions". The filthy union bosses have merely repalced the filthy robber barons.

Amazing, when it's the "right-wing dictator," no one says a word about being manipulated, such as being lied to into a war. Quite frankly, if the Righties knew the definition of the word Fascism, (political philosophy that exalts nation above the individual,) they would know THEY are the Anti-Americans, living for corporate dominance and trying to shut everyone else up. So, if you find yourself waving a flag while your neighbor is out of work, you're a Fascist. Of course, the Righties never stop to realize UNIONS gave us The WEEKEND, but they'd scream the loudest should weekends get taken away, and blame the Left for doing it.

OMG. What a bunch of mindless dribble. The snews media opinionaters openly express their Leftist and anti-American views every chance they get. The reason even they "ignored" this rally, is because even the brain dead realized it was comprised of bused in nuts and union goons. The numbers just were not there. Face it clowns, America is not a communist nation, and the majority does not agree with the Leftist policies that the man-child and his nuts in the democrat-socialist party have been trying to insert up our rear ends. Happy days are just around the corner! Cheer up, the days of children and filthy rich Leftists dictating to the rest of us are just about over. :)
When the adults take over in January, perhaps you freaks can move to Cuba in protest. The weather is great, and you get "free" healthcare, and rationed food.

Man, if this ain't the truth. Beck's Hate rally was talked about for days on every network. The rally which represented most of America, (I mean just look at the diversity of the crowd at One Nation and compare it to the one Beck held,) received little to no airtime. This happens to ALL progressive rallies. The Mother's Day March in 2006 drew over one million people and received zero coverage.

Oh...My...GOD! Not the same media that says Tea-Baggers are exercising the constitution, but G-20 protesters are rioting and need their skulls cracked open?!
Not the same media that during Katrina that said blacks were looting while whites were looking for food to survive!!!!
Not the same media owned by Westinghouse, GE, News Corp, and Disney!
Not the same media that let the Bush admin. get away with all the laws they broke, and let those responsible continue to get away with it!
I can't believe they would want to brainwash people into voting for business friendly republicans. - 1 year ago

The media is big-business and pro-conservative, because most media organizations are owned by Conservatives.. Yesterday's rally was a major event in American History, and the media demonstrated a lack of journalistic integrity and professionalism by not covering the massive rally....The media blatantly disregards the concerns of America's middle-class and poor citizens....They are the very people who buy their products..Liberals and Progressives should start boycotting all media organizations that fail to give their events equal coverage...The One Nation rally reflected a true image of American society, unlike the Glenn Becks fake rally, and their speakers were articulate with genuine concerns....

Guy you need to change your meds about pro-conservative media. The 8/28 rally was the rally that reflected the people not this whining collection of statists. Most of us in this country do not want to be subjects of an overpowering control hungry state. Frankly I don't know why some here say they are for freedom then characterize themselves as liberals or progressives (same thing). Freedom and the progressive movement are contradictory political concepts.

Well Paratus we finally agreed on something. No one wants to controlled by a power mad government. So it's a damn good thing you live in the US.
One things is certain however, people like you are clueless sock puppets for the real power in this country, corporations. "American" corporations who send American jobs overseas, crash entire economies, throw people out of their homes, destroy entire ecosystems, refuse people health care, pay no taxes and then turn around and bitch that the government is standing in their way to higher profits. This makes you a perfect corporate tool for businesses whose sole concern is to rape America for as long as America has anything of value to them...AND you're doing it for free! You really should ask to be paid for the nonsense you spew on their behalf.

Please don't change the subject...The lack of coverage of the One Nation rally by the media, is the topic...The One Nation rally reflected a true image of American society, unlike the 8/28 rally was attended primarily by Whites and a few token Blacks..The Progressive Movement is made up of Americans with real complaints and legitimate concerns, however many Tea Party Republicans have imaginary issues..They whine about taxes, and most of their taxes were lowered..They are the true whiners....The majority of Progressives want a government that protects the rights of all Americans.... Progressives are the ones that made this country great!

The "media is biased against conservatives" is a myth?????? "Pro-conservative bias in the media". What planet is the author on? The two sentences above certainly do not reflect reality. There weren't enough people there for a scrabble game. Perhaps no one wanted to cover a rally supported by the Communist Party USA.
