85 More Arrested in "Democracy Spring"; Corporate Media Ignores Protests
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Washington, D.C., police have arrested about 85 more protesters
taking part in the "Democracy Sping" actions against corporate lobbying
and big money in politics. This comes after more than 400 people were
arrested after a sit-in at the Capitol on Monday. The corporate networks
widely ignored Monday's arrests. According to a tally by The Intercept,
CNN did not devote any coverage to the protests, MSNBC mentioned them
for 12 seconds, and Fox News discussed them for 17 seconds. CNN later
posted a short item online. Click here to see our interview with
Democracy Spring organizer Kai Newkirk.
