No news? Make them listen!
The Atlanta Journal Constitution ^

Posted on 07/04/2009 10:31:54 AM PDT by SocialismFAILS

Nothing! No news about Cobb Tea Party with 5000+ people.


TOPICS: Miscellaneous; News/Current Events; Your Opinion/Questions
KEYWORDS: cobb; media; teaparty
I woke up thins morning and was disappointed to find that they had completely ignored the protests last night. Over 5000 people were there. They were happy to report that the Tea Party in Gwinnett had been shut down, but ignored that it was relocated and joined the Cobb Tea Party in Marietta, GA.

I am disgusted.

It is time to stand up the liberal media. If our voices are to be heard, it has become clear that we must demand to be listened to.

Call, write email, whatever but let the media know we won’t be ignored! If you haven’t yet had your tea party inform you local media. If you had your protest and were ignored, complain, write the editor, let them know that they have to actually cover the news, not just pick and choose!

the propaganda that comes from the MSM reminds me of Russia.

That’s why we have to make them listen. We are their consumers and enough complaints from consumers will create change if they are smart business people.

As said in my post if we don’t like it let’s do something about it

This is why the TP’s are destined to fizzle and fail. I’m not being negative I’m merely recognizing the fact that Obama, Pelosi the DNC, etc. are not the real enemy (they are opponents), the MEDIA IS THE REAL ENEMY.

Tea parties will fail if we don’t do something. But imagine if all 5000 people had called the paper to complain? Dont you think they would start paying attention then?

Before anything can be “done”, there has to be a comprehensive plan... I keep hoping that Hillary or Sarah come up with something to get the men started....

I was there and I think it was more like 7,500 to 10,000. In addition, Congressman Tom Price was there. He did not speak to the crowd, but I met with him briefly and noted the crowd there and said that it is important for these tea parties to continue.

Don’t pay any attention to the lack of coverage by the AJC Fishwrapper. Pay no attention to them. The thing to do is make certain that elected officials know about the tea parties and that they are well attended.

The was a brief mention of last night’s event on WSB-TV late night news.

I wouldn’t worry about the AJC Fishwrapper. Their circulation is in the tank.

Bypass the enemy! Don't be their customer. Stop watching! I make it a point to bring a camera and record the events myself and post them myself. Be the reporter they have failed to be!

Though that is something people should continue to do. It does no good in getting the message out to people who rely on the liberal media because they don’t know where to look otherwise. Don’t fight the enemy if there is a chance to convert them to your side
