NBC Channel 5 in Chicago Completely IGNORES 912 Rally. What's Your Local Markets Doing?
Self | 09/12/2009 | Self

Posted on 09/12/2009 8:34:42 PM PDT by usconservative

Just finished watching the NBC News here in the Chicago Market. Guess what? Not a single mention of the rally in Washington DC today. Not one single second.

Oh sure, they covered some small ethnic rally in a near south side neighborhood and Obama's speech in Minnesota today for nearly 30 seconds, but for the D.C. Rally?

Silence.

I just fired off an email to them expressing my disgust and letting them know I was switching to another station for my local news. I've watched Channel 5's news for as long as I can remember, but no more. Enough is enough.

They completely IGNORED the biggest story of the day, IMO, and as a result they lost a viewer and I told them so.

Our small market CBS gave it decent coverage toward the middle of the news, with Bambi’s rally thrown in. They didn’t mention the small local rally.

WGN in Chicago did a reasonable job on the local 9:30 newscast - the rally showed up reasonably early (just before the report on the Obama shillfest in Minnesota), gave a fair description of crowd size, and didn’t used overly slanted language in the description.

KING5 Seattle said there were thousands in DC and then went to a long clip of Obama in the Twin Cities.

Why not call it what it is, a government takeover of our medical care.

Socialized medicine is by definition a government take over of our healthy care system. That is exactly what it is.

In both Canada and Britain, the government took over all health care and prohibited the private sector from providing it.

I assumed everybody knew that “socialized medicine” is “government onlyl health care”.

The point needs to be made bluntly or the Left will say, "What's so bad about socialism?"

Yeah, I just watched the 10:PM on Channels 13 (CBS) and 40 (FOX) and they just HAD to pair the story up with Obama's campaign style gig today and Channel 13 HAD to preview his appearance tomorrow on "60 Minutes!"

As if we haven't seen and heard enough of him lately/sarcasm!!!

Channel 3's coverage was like the others, but Channel 10's (ABC affiliate) was awful!!! They focused in on what most casual voters would consider the extreme nut cases displaying their AK-47, those charging that Obama was trying to get in our kids heads to "organise his personal national defense force," and other "black helicopter" appearing stuff.

One lady tried and failed to make the point that even though she didn't vote for Obama, she is now seeing all the things taking place that she feared should he become President.

The black news reader scowled at the end and raised one eyebrow clear up into his hairline!!! Not very subtle tweeking and torquing if you ask me...

We live in the Portland area, but went to Salem.

The speakers said there was media there, but I didn’t see it.

California 912 group held a tea party in L.A. at federal building on Wilshire and 405 freeway.

ABC sent one truck over 2 hours BEFORE event was set to start so there were not a lot of people then, though it was building. They stayed about 7 minutes, spoke to one or two people, and left.

The tea party was fantastic, however, with entertainment and speeches etc. Very well done and we got lots of honks and friendly waves along Wilshire.

My guesstimate was about 2 to 3000 people. Anybody else have a better guess?
