March Against Monsanto in 436 Cities IGNORED by Corporate Media

david packard shell david dot com one million protesters against monsanto worldwide well no not really but will actually tell you the numbers we really do have instead of just hyperbolic numbers about protest as we know luis is very popular with tea party with glenn beck doing a speech in five penn the lincoln memorial two vastly exaggerated the numbers that participate in a protest but we will not do that year on saturday there work protests in fifty two countries and four hundred and thirty six cities as part of the march against monsanto corporation this is against genetically modified food some of the themes war real mood for real people label g_m_ owes its our right to know the big thing i wanna talk about here we've talked about the the content of the march against monsanto a lot right full disclosure in labeling on genetically modified food we don't buy into the argument it is simply a ploy from organic brands that are already labeling their food to increase the cost of the companies that would have to do re brands we don't buy into any of that we should we think it should be labeled we are against the incredible lawsuits that are taking place when amman santos soybean blows into a nearby field and is planted there and then farmer gets sued we've we've talked about all that stuff i think our position is pretty clear on that right what i want to talk about louis favorite subject of mine the media coverage or really the lack of media coverage of the march against monsanto santo i mean ladies and gentlemen four hundred and thirty six cities around the world the saint louis business journal blog wrote about it the tahoe daily tribune had a small piece about the local involvement in the protest but essentially no corporate media coverage have remember ladies and gentlemen this is not in a vacuum it's not well this didn't get coverage and other stuff that is similar in size also didn't get coverage not only is that ron remember when three hundred people which show up at a tea party rally and it was all day news on fox news rush limbaugh and sean hannity and all the right wing bout uh... echo chamber going crazy but the tea party movement people are fired up lewis people are fired up and then we have cameras that actually pan all the way around ms like a few hundred people die you can pass the uh... mispelled signs and uh... right there's nobody there there's nobody there if you actually take down the misspelled signs you'll see this like nobody standing behind but this gets absolutely no coverage so what is it is at the normal cycle of big corporations fun big media so big media is a critical big corporations is it that simple or is there more to build the std the lack of coverage about this uh... as i always say is it is it interesting news the majority i don't know i don't know if it's good for ratings nancy think maybe it's just not gonna play well people wouldn't really care that much i think that's easy for people to say when those people might have ties with my center are which allen's that anti i would actually say the reason why people wouldn't be interested in hearing about the marching in sponse anto would all lee hold true it would it would only be valid if it's a prison tation that does not really critically look at the issues and the and the reasons for the protest because if people really understood how important the food situation on this planet is right now to them and if it was properly presented you'd see the protest twice as big and the media coverage with jack's lead to really well i just don't think we would get that type of coverage well if you compare to the tea party coverage i think that the problem is that uh... the sort of and zara prodi know jim o labeling movement doesn't really have a powerful lobby so when you have uh... you know the tea party have a three hundred person rally you have a bunch of pressroom releases they're being release and then you get one media outlets a cover and then all of them cover it right just the contagious effective media coverage so here there's no one really pulling any strings form there's no money going into it is no campaign money et cetera there are no ads so the media just has no interest i don't think it's necessarily a deliberate attempt tend not talk about is just that there's no one who's going to make it happen i think it's part partly delivered in the sense that a lot of monsanto and big food brands are advertising on corporate media why would they why would they bite the hand that feeds them at the same time monsanto has a name that a lot of people don't know people know the brands were not monsanto right so i think a lot of people might just got lost and then all of the uh... the minutiae he could be right
