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.

Last night the late evening news here in the Netherlands led off with the story of the rally. I was surprised, since the major news outlets here generally follow the US MSM in matters of US news.

The next tea party should be with the media.

Close up and personal.

They have become the enemy and they should be dealt with.

I checked out his latest posting, and couldn’t get a video.

I know about this poster...

“He had a dream, we’ve got a nightmare!”

...but didn’t know about the video.

However...

AWESOME POSTER!

And...yep...that kind of word play is you all over! ;o)

“The next tea party should be with the media.”

Omigosh!

What an AWESOME idea!

FNC, ‘net, talk radio...against the “all powerful” state run media!

Truly...that is a GREAT idea!

Send it to Beck!

THAT IS AN INSANELY GOOD IDEA.

Tea party their media headquarters. On a weekday. That is actually a brilliant idea. How could they possibly ignore a story that is blocking their ability to leave from work or go out to lunch.

I love it.

WRAL (CBS) did not deem it important enough to make their main web page. You have to click on “More” in the National News category to see the report “Thousands of downtown D.C. protesters blast Obama” toward the bottom of the list of less-important articles.

WGN in Chicago did a reasonable job on the local 9:30 newscast

Channel 7 - WLS (ABC) I think did a reasonable and respectable job. They showed good pictures of the crowd size, and talked about the Rally in D.C. as well as in Chicago at Millenium Park. Time wise, they spent about double on the rally's than they did with Obama. They also didn't use incindiary language calling the protesters "angry" either.

WLS (ABC) received a nice email from me last night thanking them for fair and balanced coverage. NBC and CBS here in Chicago received scathing but polite emails that they missed the biggest story of the day and that they'd both lost a viewer. I named the shows on each network that I would no longer watch.
