Spain rises up and say's NO!

I just received this in an e-mail.  Yet another example of the Main Stream Media blocking entire events from the public's knowledge, while other media outlets  severely downplay events, insinuating that it's just a bunch of grumpy teenagers with nothing else to do...

The largest public protests, rallies, and demonstrations that the world has ever seen are happening with almost no media coverage. Not only is there a blackout on these events in the media, but YouTube is frequently removing footage of these mass rallies and events when requested to do so by governments: 'Google, the owner of YouTube, has complied with the majority of requests from governments, particularly in the United States and the UK, not only to remove You Tube videos, but also specific web search terms and thousands of “data requests,” meaning demands for information that would reveal the true identity of a You Tube user.' These events are truly inspiring and should be front page news! Yet mainstream media is working with governments to keep people uninformed and dis-empowered.
