Did LA Local News Devote More Coverage to Student Protest today than to Tea Parties in April?
Earlier today, while doing cardio to warm up for my workout, I watched the TV screen where the local CBS affiliate was constantly cutting to live footage of students (and associated 1960s leftovers) protesting a fee increase. And their constant coverage got me wondering if the same station offered the same amount of coverage to the much larger tea party protests in April?
Or do only certain protests merit constant coverage?

I’ll be at the healthcare rally at the Federal building on Saturday. I’ll let you know how much press shows up. It’s only a mile from UCLA, I’m sure msm could find it if they want to.
Meanwhile, our CA taxes are being confiscated before we’ve even earned them. If they are going to pay for these spoiled brats, I”ll be very upset.

Maybe some of these schools should start replacing their whiny history courses glorifying protests with some economics or accounting courses…

It was on all day. Unbelievable. All I could think off is all that money and all they’re learning is BS
