No news is no news

Were you listening, by any chance, to KABC radio early in the evening on Saturday, July 8th? Or on Monday night around 8pm or so? Or tonight (7/11)?

If not, then you probably never heard of the march protesting illegal aliens that occurred on Saturdy, July 8th organized by homeless activist Ted Hayes and the founder of the Minuteman Project Jim Gilchrist!

I did hear, on KABC Monday night, that Gilchrist was interviewed on CNN afterwards but I was only able to locate one item on the Internet about this march:

Minuteman Project and Save Our State Immigration Rally and March-Hollywood, CA-July 8, 2006

By now, I really hope you're wondering why the two newspapers in Los Angeles didn't even mention it. If not, you need a wake up call, big time: NEWSPAPERS TODAY HAVE A POLITICAL AGENDA!!!

Can you really imagine ANY newspaper in years past that wouldn't cover this? It's news! The were hundreds of counter protesters, people got arrested, a policeman even got hurt...and not a single news story.

Do you feel well-served by your local newspapers?


Good books that discuss bias in the media
