On the other hand, there are signs that the a lot more folks don't care what the media says.
Down-side:
We will be protesting in fron of empty offices. The media will take a “tree falls in the forest” stance.
Mr. Yokel, you have hit the nail on the head.
Easy answer to that, surround the White Houes. Lafayette Park and Penn. Ave are closed to traffic and E street isnt that tough to close and there is plenty of room on the Ellipse.
Surround the White House, send you message to Obama Congress is all kissing his azz anyway. They will get the message.
Don’tcha reckon a cameraman or B-Team anchors might be around at some of the smaller outlets. I guaran-dang-tee you that the folks at CNN will be working on Saturday.
Do it Wednesday through Saturday, take turns, that way they feel the heat for 4 days.
Even better. Blogs and talk radio will report it - the media won’t.
It will be another step in training people to come to us for news because they won’t get from the media.
It’s all good.
They will have less back office staff on a Saturday, but the news desk folks work seven days.
Yes, I’d like to see it happen on a weekday during so called ‘prime time’ news at each of the networks, CNN, CBS, NBC and ABC. Make it obvious, so they can only try to pretend to ignore it.
They will ‘spike’ these events the way they did last weekends.

I agree and I wish we could have been in D.C. on a weekday as well but until we all lose our jobs we will probably all remain at work knowing it could be gone any day.
9/12 was a Saturday too.
