Truthout is a vital news source and a living history of political struggle. If you think our work is valuable, support us with a donation of any size.
Occupy Wall Street is in its third week, but even though the local media teams have been doing extraordinary work, the money media are still covering the protest as if it were a wildlife park. If the networks won’t bring the protesters into the studio, we’re going to bring a broadcast “studio” to the protesters. Yup, it’s another collaboration from GRITtv, The Uptake, Free Speech TV and the Media Consortium. TODAY, from 4-7 pm eastern, we will produce a three-hour special show featuring coverage of the Occupy Wall Street Labor March on satellite in all 50 states on Free Speech TV and online here.
