"You extol the virtues of communism because you have never been forced to live under it." - Alexandr Solshenitzen

While covering a May Day rally in Manhattan’s Union Square on Wednesday, NBC New York reporter Ida Siegal was cornered and asked if her network planned to show the communist imagery the protesters were displaying. Hilarity ensued when Siegal immediately became defensive, denying she had seen any communist imagery and asking of the “Hammer-and-Sickle” flags: “What do they represent?”
“You guys are with channel 4 news,” the videographer noted while addressing Siegal and her production team. “Are you guys going to show any of the people with Hammer and Sickle flags?”
“I haven’t seen any of those flags,” Siegal replied amid the din of the ongoing protests activity. “What do they represent?”
The National Review Online posted a selection of some of the communist imagery and iconography that was present at the Union Square protest marking International Workers Day – the secular holiday that celebrates international socialist solidarity. Here are some highlights:

60 years ago was a British journalist named Reginald Thompson
A rather acerbic fellow pointed out the uneven quality of
American reporters
He stated at the top (meaning people like Edward Murrow)
are the very best . Below that you had virtual illiterites
It’s journalist like her that give the other 5% a bad name.
Pray for America to Wake Up
I’m sure you’re right.
Europe used to have some massive May day celebrations. I have no idea why. Couldn’t they figure it out, what loyalties were being driven home?
His target would be a lot broader these days.
Ignorant? Intentionally obtuse? Deceptive?
Like Satan, the best thing the commies can do is make people believe they don’t exist or aren’t a threat.
No. Because they were taught everything but actual history. I used to wonder. Not any more. People simply never learned history/the truth.
This “Reporter” should be grateful that breathing is part of the autonomic nervous system.
THE reason for the season
actually, I would have pointed to the reporter and her team as the tyranny response team
the media has been in that role since the 70s at least
But I betcha she could spot a Confederate Flag from 3000 yards away even if you took her glasses and stepped on them.
But the whole things represents socialism/communism. That’s what it’s about. Even without the flags. Who in the news business does not know what May Day is about?
Evil seems to go hand and hand with ignorance. I’m not at all surprised that a reporter wouldn’t know the hammer & sickle symbol. Heck, I’m sure some wouldn’t recognize the swastika.
I miss what/who you’re referring to, could you please clarify?
Bet they all voted for Obama - including the woman reporter.
“We’ve gotta get rid of the J schools and get back to pounding the beat for news.”
HOWEVER, it starts much earlier in K-12. You don’t have a well rounded education with a good knowledge of the founding of this country and tolerate the utter BS in “J” school.
We must defund the public schools by keeping our kids/grand kids out of the clutches of these communists.
The communists TOLD us they were going to do this in our schools and universities and they DID it but for some reason we keep sending our kids to government indoctrination centers.
They are so bold they now are including known and convicted terrorists and killers and bombers in our universities and we do nothing.
1) Home school if you have the time.
2) Private school if you have the money
3) Charter schools if they are non-union and center or right leaning.
4) Shut up and watch what remains of the USA swish around the bottom of the toilet bowl.
“Having a sub 75 IQ is a prerequisite to getting into journalism school these days.
And having a sub-60 IQ is a prerequisite for getting OUT.”
The School of Journalism at Indiana University is located in Pyle Hall, as in Ernie Pyle. I can guarantee that not five students attending class there could tell you why it has that name. They probably assume he donated a lot of money.
Dick Durbin. Was this not the same rally he attended?
