Here in the SF Bay Area the evening host on KGO, Gene Burns, talked
about the Wall Street protests. He had been out of town since Thursday
for his niece's wedding in Florida and when he returned tuned into
listen to the substitute host on his show, Peter B Collins, interviewing
some people including Chris Hedges that were at the protest. Gene, who
was in the practice of reading CNN.com, noticed no mention there at
all. He went to other web sites and found some articles. The station
used to be owned by ABC and they still do the news and though ignoring
the protests in weeks past did report it at the top of the news over the
weekend.
KGO is not a left wing talk station but one of the top radio stations in
the Bay Area with a strong signal that can be heard over much of the
country. Gene Burns is a Libertarian, who has even run for office, but
in the 2008 election voted for Obama because he thought the Libertarian
party wasn't doing anything to help everyone. Anyway last night he
lambasted the mainstream media for lack of coverage and talked about how
important these protests are. At one point he said to the extent, the
American people are tired of being screwed by Wall Street and they want
blood, the banker's blood. You can see the rhetoric is heating up an
we may well see an American Fall. This weekend there will be
protests in the financial district in San Francisco though there was
also one two weeks about when the Occupy Wall Street protest started
out. This one should be big.
