Operation: Can You hear Us Now - Media Protests

No location was chosen

Please join us at the three main Fringe Media outlets in Orlando to express our disgust at their biased reporting

2pm - ABC - WFTV 490 E. South St., Orlando, FL 32801 MAP
3pm - CBS - WKMG 4466 N John Young Pkwy, Orlando, FL, 32804-1939 MAP

4pm - NBC - WESH 1021 N. Wymore Road, Winter Park, Fla., 32789 MAP


Please remember, this is a media bias protest, your signs should reflect that message. We are not protesting 0bama, Congress, Taxes, Bills, etc. (at least on this day).

I will bring a letter for all participants to sign, on behalf of all Americans, that we will attempt to deliver to the news Director at each outlet.

    Would anyone like to carpool from the Kissimmee area? I am new to Kissimmee so unfamiliar with the area. Thanks. Ellen

    I have researched City ordinances, and as long as our group remains below 100 people we do not need a permit.

    I think this is what we need to do everywhere in the country until they, the media get it!

    No Anti-Obama, Anti-Pelosi, Anti-Reid, etc messages
    No Obamacare / Healthcare messages
    No "Liar" related
    No name calling (e.g. dumb, stupid, racial epithet, etc.)
    No Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh for President

    All volunteers and attendees should remember: this is a peaceful demonstration against media bias. We are protesting to defend our liberties and speak out against the complicity of the media given the scope of its influence. It is important that our movement remain peaceful.

    What a Great Time we had!! Kendyl thought the one at Channel 2 was the best. She said the helo Pad made her feel important. She also said the manager dodged questions like a "Real Politition".

    I was great to attend my first meet up at the NBC protest today (10/17/09). Spirits were high, and I met a lot of extraordinary people. Let's keep up the pressure on the lamestream media!

    Great event, thanks to the Otown Tea Party meetup for joining us. While the media pretty much "ignored" us, they knew that we were there. We made our statement. And thanks to NBC 2's Bob Longo for coming out on his weekend and meeting us.

    I guess we need to focus on one station at a time and maybe get more people to the protest. I think, they think we will go away if they don't cover the protests. I am very afraid someone will do something really bad if they keep ignoring us. I really think we need to put more pressure on one of them (like channel 2) until we get coverage. If we focus on one station maybe the other stations would cover it. And why not do it for several days in a row if we can get the people. We would need to stay off their property to stay out of trouble. I will go there any weekend you setup. If we are going to save the Republic, we need to do better.
