CNN's Pitiful Coverage Of The Protests In Wisconsin

I'm still not sure what's more pitiful. The fact the CNN along with our other cable news networks decided to largely ignore the fact that we had massive protests going on in Wisconsin this weekend, or that when they finally devoted a few minutes to

The Uptake did broadcast the protests.

We need to do something about the media consolidation in this country and until these large media conglomerates are broken up, things aren't going to get any better with our struggles to fight back against the destruction of the labor movement and the middle class that is under assault right now. How and when that happens and what political force it takes to change it is beyond me, but if we aren't at least pushing our politicians to do something about it, nothing is ever going to change on that front.

I guess it was asking too much of CNN to show this picture of just how many turned out to protest during their coverage. Anyone think if this was some teabagger rally which they love to promote, that they would not have been showing the crowd size?
