For those of us who have protested outside MSM buildings before, it was the typical response from the LA Times: "Protest? What protest?"

They don't have the time of day to report about or talk to people marching around with signs outside their huge building. They are JOURNALISTS, after all, too busy working on the Obama campaign to bother with reporting the news.

As you know, the LA Times is hiding a video of Obama at a party with Rashid Khalidi and other anti-Israel terrorist sympathizers who apparently made some touching comments and speeches about the apartheid terrorist illegal state...

HELP needed now! Joe (Apache) just called me.

We need someone who live in LA, not far from LA Times, to drive by it ASAP and ask our demonstrators there for their cell. #’s. Because Apache & Rondog may not be able to be physically there. They already spent whole day there yersterday. Joe & I like to coordinate from his office and updates from site from time to time!

Please email cell #’s to RaginApache or to me. Let me know if you plan to drive by today. No need to get off car, just ask numbers. Thanks!

LOL. The LA Times sent Steve Lopez all the way to Wasilla, Alaska to dig up dirt on Sarah Palin, without success, but they can’t produce a tape that is probably lying on a sofa in their employee lounge.

Journalistic Integrity dontcha know.

Thanks for posting all those links in one reply, RonDog. I read your "so much fun" thread last night and today when I got home from work I wanted catch up on that thread, but couldn't find it again. I had to really dig around to find this thread today, so I am very happy to see that you're still doing your great "index" posts, and saving me from hunting around for the rest of the story.

Fantastic work to all who stood with you guys!

LOL!
I started doing that so that, in the future, **I** could find the threads that I remembered seeing -- somewhere.
Then, I thought that adding them would be a big benefit to FUTURE researchers -- who wanted to learn about what we had done.
But, it turns out that one of the BEST uses for those "indexes" is getting better placement in a Google search!
The Google-bots LOVE links!

Here is part of ANOTHER "after action" report, this one from Southern California's own CONSERVATIVE funny man, Evan Sayet:
Protest at the Los Angeles Times
Evansayet.com ^ | October 30, 2008 | Evan Sayet

Posted on 10/31/2008 9:00:00 AM PDT by WackySam

The Los Angeles Times, reeling from the deep cuts and unprecedented layoffs that have perfectly paralleled their self-inflicted loss of respect from all but the most radical leftists, finds themselves again willing to play the shill for their ideological brethren in the Obama camp at the expense of what is left of their own reputation.

This time the once well-regarded paper has chosen to embargo from the people a videotape that they admit they hold in their possession that, by all accounts (including the reporter who is currently hiding the tape) shows Barack Obama at a celebration for the Arab/Islamic terrorist-supporter and longtime Obama friend, Rashid Khalidi.

Faced with the reality that the Times holds its own readership in disdain and sees itself not as an honest broker with the job of presenting the facts, but as partisans working on behalf of a particular ideology, forty Angelenos took to the streets in front of the Times' building in downtown Los Angeles this Thursday morning to make their voices heard and to demand nothing more than that the Times do its job as members of The Fourth Estate...

-- snip --

...Press coverage of the protest was -- as one would expect considering that it is the press itself that was being exposed by this action -- minimal. To their credit, there were a couple of reporters (TV and print) from local colleges and CNN did make an appearance, although the reporter seemed determined to interview no one other than a spokesman for the JDL in an effort, I presume, to spin the story as one of Jews against Muslims, not Americans demanding that the media do its job and present the American people with the facts that even they admit they hold in their possession.

From time to time, Times employees would gather on a balcony overlooking the peaceful protest and mock the people below, while one "editor" for the paper (who refused to identify himself by name) showed the same disdain and condescension...

-- snip --

Bottom line? The first I'd heard that the protest was going to become a reality was at eight o'clock this morning. I was told it only was officially scheduled around midnight last night.

Considering how many people (remember, we're Republicans, not Democrats) have jobs and can't just "take the day off" (as Obama advised his followers to do on election day), it was a good event, and just the first salvo in what I suspect is going to be a long war against a media that no longer even feigns journalistic integrity and, instead, uses what's left of its currency to advance an ideological agenda....

As you know we did this stuff for years. It was great for building morale and for people to feel they were getting something done, making a response to the left, but there was a tremdous let down later when you found no media coverage or that preaching to the choir, while personally gratifying, doesn’t dent the left much.

People that take the time to show up to your event want to see something concrete out of it or they get disilusioned. Sure, it’s “fun” for a day but the novelty wears off quickly and people burn out on “activism” quckly.

If you want to get covered in the local and MSM, you have to do something spectacular and for God’s sake you have to let the media know in advance so they can show up.

It may seem like I’m being critical but I’m not. Many of us have been down this road and would like to save others the frustration we experienced.

Unfortunately, since the demise of the Free Republic Network there is no where for these new activists to go to get advice or assistance on their FReeps.

Because of that, being on FR is like “Groundhog Day”.
