Mainstream Media Won’t Report Union Violence
Main Street Radical ^ | 2/27/2011 | James Devere

Posted on 02/28/2011 6:48:55 AM PST by mainstreetradical.com

To hear the mainstream media discuss pro-union Moveon.org rallies this weekend, and the counter protests by the Tea Party, you would think that the evil Tea Party was out to violently destroy the poor downtrodden American worker. The narrative adopted by the media discounts the fact that Tea Partiers are, by and large, hardworking employed Americans who are just fed up with the fiscal insanity, including the sanctification of public employees. The media ignores the point that we are actually having a debate about, and two state governments have gone into hiding over, an argument as to whether or not taxpayers will pay 100% or 94% of state workers’ retirement.

Take just the above example of the media twisting a story for their own agenda, and it is bad reporting. Add in the gross misreporting of violence and it is obvious that our fourth estate is just a mouthpiece for the progressive movement. You won’t see the videos below on CNN, MSNBC, or your nightly news. Instead, you have talking heads discuss the propensity for violence that exists in the “angry” Tea Party movement. If there is video of Tea Party violence, I will post it, but i have yet to find a single video showing such violence. In the meantime here is a video from the Moveon.org rally in Atlanta with some thugs crossing into the Tea Party rally and shoving people around.

The following is from the Moveon.org rally in Sacramento and captures union members crossing the street and confronting and shoving a Tea Party member. One of the best parts of the video is the union member with bullhorn shouting that the other side is ignorant and then saying, “You probably let your wives run your house.” Nothing like a little sexism to go along with your violence from this highly evolved intellectual.

And my favorite video of weekend: a crazy liberal foaming at the mouth.

Update: More videos added as they come in.

It's extremely important that FReepers that are actually ON-SITE at these "protests" funded and instigated by the Communist Party are reported here, and elsewhere, with photo's and video's as available.

There's NO WAY the State Run Media will report ANYTHING that counters their Agenda.

The coup in Washington that was put in place in 2008, is now being expanded to the peons who think Unions still are a credible/necessary body functioning of the workers' behalf.

They are always the less-informed, and in the case of Government employees, they are typically do-nothing/lackluster performers who can't function in a real job without Union extortion protections.

Yeah I noticed that the media didn’t do a lot of live on scene reporting from the “massive nationwide protests” on saturday. I assumed it was because they needed to hide the rabid nature of the left wing attack dogs.

Hurt the media where it matters!

One of the things we have to be careful about is ‘preaching to the choir’ here on FR

I get almost 100% of my news here and FOX

We have to spend a little time seeing what the enemy’s of freedom are doing on CNNBCBSPMSNBCPBSNPR

Mike church on satellite radio in the morning is good at showing libtard examples each day of the idiocy on other networks.

He had some libtard this morning saying that the GOP ad about Obama and his ‘union bosses’ were inherently racist because they hint that a black man must be too stupid to know what to do with out the boss man. (Scoring a three-fer in one idiotic shot: black, stupid, plantation)

When the “rumor” of a Tea Party spitting incident occurred when Piglosi was strutting across the Capitol grounds, the STATE RUN MEDIA SPENT A COUPLE OF WEEKS RUNNING THOSE HEADLINES.

We are so screwed - until the Repugs figure out to defeat the state run media.

Network news broadcasters are members of AFTRA, which is AFL/CIO,so right off the bat there isn’t going to be any “balanced” reporting. Not that there would be any way...

AFTRA leadership insists the AFTRA does not endorse or support political campaigns, but has been sending out emails “in solidarity” with the union thugs in Wisconsin.

I hope those few who were still willing to give the news media the benefit of the doubt (they're only interested in ratings & controversy, if it leads it bleeds, etc)for their inconsistent coverage.

They are entirely ideologically committed to the left, an exist only to promote the left's agenda.

Leftwing ideology informs EVERY decision they make.

I am sorry to say that when it comes right down to it, you can also include FOX NEWS in that grouping called 'the media'. They won't cover many of the items you listed with the exception of 3., 4. & 9.

That is why I get my news elsewhere. Talk radio, Freerepublic.com)

The media is not "state run", it is just controlled by progressives. The liberals have put there money where their mouths are and taken over ownership and management of most major news outlets, except Fox. Until conservatives are willing to put their money on the line to promote their principles, the MSM will continue to dominate, and no, they are not dinosaurs, they are the most powerful force in this Country who got an incompetent Marxist with no experience elected as president.

Certainly agree with that part - I still maintain they are "state run" since they all play to the boy kings smallest demands, ALL OF THEM, even Fox. Why? Because we have a lawless administration and every news outlet is scared to death to take on the leader of the lawless administration. One wouldn't pick a fight with the mafia or the cia. I am not holding my breath that the GOP will investigate and put a stop to the lawless agenda of this Admin. I will forecast the GOP will retake the Senate in Nov 2012, but the most historic President ever will hang on, even if it requires massive cheating by the RAT party to pull it off.

Just posted the link on Facebook. Let's see if I get banned completely.

While I was sick for 3 days, the people controlling Facebook locked out my ability to “chat” - with no explanation, other than a computer generated reference to “inappropriate content”.

Since all I do is talk to family & friends, and post conservative articles, I guess some libtard got his panties in a wad and objected.

I have been putting up a good bit about the dangers of Islam and the coming Muzzie takeover in the Middle East.

If I'm going down, I'm going down fighting!
