You think it's bad where you are--here in upstate WNY it's Gong Show vs Sabres hockey playoffs....on the local yokel media 24-7.

I just emailed Fox News about it. Let them know what I think about the "American Idol as earthbreaking news" crap, and sent a link to the Reuters article.

I am a journalist (smalltime) and it irks me to no end to see what passes for journalism these days.

That's because our oh-so-great MSM only responds to terrorist attacks. Peaceful, pro-freedom demonstrations don't get their attention. CNN will only give airtime to people who hate the United States and freedom, and blow up buildings and people to express this hate.

These Iranian protestors do not hate us and do not blow things up, so no CNN play for them. The Iranians who want their freedom get their exposure in the blogs. Not that this will be that big a deal in a few years, seeing as how the MSM is rapidly collapsing anyway.

That's why people complain that the Iranian people aren't doing anything to win their freedom. If they never hear about it on CNN and the networks, how can they know what's going on?


this is were we come into the picture.

Sizeable Protest inIran bump!

Yep, it's a shame. I mean hey, there's almost a revolution going on over there and the Western Media is quiet as if it's observing the annual symposium of janitors. I live in Azerbaijan (I mean the independent one)and though our TV mostly sucks (well, the government seems somewhat afraid of Iran and I can't really blame it), local newspapers and online news sites are all over it. More than 20 people are reported to be shot by the police, many more wounded and held captive. I've already lauched an online campaign to break this silence barrier and ask Western Media to report something after all. Let's see if it works. Meanwhile, here are some links with news and photos:
