I just filed this story on KPFA Radio <\/a>about the ‘We Won’t Fly’ campaign. The story treats it more fairly than\u00c2\u00a0mainstream McMedia that all read from the same AP script and said the event “fizzled” too\u00c2\u00a0early in the day for there to have been time to accurately assess it.\u00c2\u00a0That reminded me of the story about John Tyner, the man of\u00c2\u00a0“don’t touch my junk” fame.\u00c2\u00a0Immediately after that story broke, the media was reporting that “8 out of 10” Americans supported the TSA’s actions in the case when clearly there\u00c2\u00a0had\u00c2\u00a0been insufficient time to have conducted a valid poll.\u00c2\u00a0It was an example of\u00c2\u00a0media not reporting\u00c2\u00a0news but manufacturing it.\u00c2\u00a0That’s what we saw yesterday in coverage of Opt Out Day.<\/p>\n

It didn’t fizzle. TSA backed off for the day and fewer people were flying due to We Won’t Fly’s efforts. Accolades to those who protested despite the lack of support by\u00c2\u00a0others.<\/p>\n
