If 150,000 protest in the streets, and the media doesn't cover it, did it really happen?

ask them why they deny and defend fascism.

it is well documented that mainstream media also denied, defended and even championed fascism during the 1930s. the
corporate media should be labelled as -:

"fascism's supporters"

-both webwise and physically, as a buildup to the ' Media Democracy Campaign' day in October.

[ do you have the date of this campaign day by the way? ]

-I would like to organise a list of emails of the major media for the indymedia community to ask this very question. :-)I did as this question of one of our national papers last night. voila! this morning there is some coverage, not wonderful but better than nothing. they don't
like being accused of denying/championing fascism.

here in sweden i havent heard a word about the 100 000 people demonstrating in the aftermaths of genoa.
i guess they are to non violent to attract media attention.
or is it because the media dont want people to hear that what they reported earlier was wrong?

its a shame that you have to use violence to be heard.
