It's pretty amazing -- 10,000 young, engaged activists spread across DC yesterday, calling for climate action and better democracy. But guess what the nation's mainstream news outlets are lending their coverage to instead? CNN chose to run a piece on -- A new bacon-scented cologne and another piece on how "Dog the bounty hunter" had to bail Nicholas Cage out of jail in New Orleans.
Who else wonders why these two stories could have ever possibly been considered more important than 10,000 youths getting organized and marching on DC, protesting about the corporate savages who aim to fuck-up our Planet to the point of no recovery with their pocketed-politicians' b.s. policies to boot?
Perhaps, politicians and mainstream medias' biggest fear is that engaged activists from our youth generation will no longer tolerate the apathy of our aging society who just turn away. Ironically, these kids' parents were likely some of the 250,000 that marched on DC in efforts to Stop the Vietnam War.
I'll end this piece by giving proper respect to the real folks at TreeHugger, who were the source info, where much of this discourse was resurfacing from and with an applicable quote from a Bob Marley song, "All politicians are humans in disguise."
