Here it is folks, this is what its come to, and its all we have. We have NO accountable, concerned or unbiased media. There will be virtually NO coverage of the massive protests about to take place tomorrow. If you, like me, cannot attend, you can follow it 24 hours straight (and its broadcasting right now even, the protests have already begun) right here:
http://dc.indymedia.org/
I tuned in during the RNC and Im telling you, they had phones, live on the streets tape recording and interviewing what was REALLY going on non-stop, and the amount of police state stuff I overheard with my own ears was absolutely horrifying. It will be similar here. You can hear the screams, the people being beaten, the police screaming at the top of their lungs like psychos and the whole nine yards. Hopefully it wont get as bad as it did at the RNC but these kind of things dont have a good track record (and Im not talking about protesters, Im talking about pro-Bush power trippy cops instigating and fueling, beating and wrongfully arresting)
It is an ogg stream, so you need WinAmp to listen, if on a Mac I have no idea but there is an option there.
They also have live updates on exactly what is taking place on the streets, here is the most recent:
The Razorwire: breaking news
Inaugural Media Center: Phone: 202-332-4481 to report breaking news.
8:30PM: DC Radio Coop internet radio is up and intermittent in ogg format. See left bar for player downloads.
7:59 2 protesters from California were detained at 5th and G after trying to drop a banner, "Let Them Eat Cake", in front of the National Building Museum. They have been let go.
7:30 MayDay DC is still on 5th and G NW DC chanting "Feed the homeless not your greed". A few police officers are standing by. They have been told by the police to go behind a line of parked cars to the northwest corner of 5th and G.
7:08 MayDay DC is at the cross section of 5th and G holding banners at the National Building Museum. The National Building Museum is the site of one of the many inaugural balls being held around the city.
When the news is slow, they do play music so if you hear music when you turn it on that is normal.
This is just regular people taking the media into their own hands via the net because our media has failed us over and over. Whatever happens tomorrow, you will hear the real version of events on this radio station.
The Real Media has arrived and is on the air!
