    IF the media was the evil empire people make it out to be, not only would it be televised, but they would be the ones staging it and profiting from it.

    I am so tired of this image. All of the revolutions are being televised! All of them!

    Well, it wasn’t much of a revolution, but OWS was on TV 24/7 for several months so I don’t think “corporate corruption, greed and fear” means what they think it means.

    The worst part is that the phrase “the revolution will not be televised” comes from the title of a comically biased “documentary” supporting Hugo Chavez (Venezuela’s dictator). Never mind the fact that Chavez holds the record (by several orders of magnitude) of time spent being televised of any latinamerican person, being notorious for his 8-hour speeches several times a week that every single TV and radio station in Venezuela is forced to transmit live. The worst part is that he was the most open and adamant supporter of Gaddafi, having the dozen or so state-controlled TV channels in Venezuela permanently refer to the rebels as the “pro-colonial forces” and repeating word for word all the ridiculous statements from Libyan state TV. Of course, that’s when they weren’t claiming that absolutely nothing was going on in Libya (they were still claiming that while the NATO was hours before deciding to help the rebels). He’s also the most prominent supporter of al-Assad (Siria), Ahmadinejad (Iran), Mugabe (Zimbabwe), the Castro brothers, Carlos the Jackal (who, Chavez has claimed repeatedly, is a “freedom fighter not a terrorist”), the FARC in Colombia, and just about everyone who has spent at least a part of the last 30 years killing innocents for fun and/or profit.

    the last part of that comment
    “and just about everyone who has spent at least a part of the last 30 years killing innocents for fun and/or profit.”
    is untrue as Chavez has not been supporting the United States who are by far the world leaders in killing innocent people for profit.

    The Revolution Will Not Be Televised
    by Gil Scott Heron

    You will not be able to stay home, brother.
    You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
    You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip,
    Skip out for beer during commercials,
    Because the revolution will not be televised.

    The revolution will not be televised.
    The revolution will not be brought to you by Xerox
    In 4 parts without commercial interruptions.
    The revolution will not show you pictures of Nixon
    blowing a bugle and leading a charge by John
    Mitchell, General Abrams and Spiro Agnew to eat
    hog maws confiscated from a Harlem sanctuary.
    The revolution will not be televised.

    The revolution will not be brought to you by the
    Schaefer Award Theatre and will not star Natalie
    Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia.
    The revolution will not give your mouth sex appeal.
    The revolution will not get rid of the nubs.
    The revolution will not make you look five pounds
    thinner, because the revolution will not be televised, Brother.

    There will be no pictures of you and Willie May
    pushing that shopping cart down the block on the dead run,
    or trying to slide that color television into a stolen ambulance.
    NBC will not be able predict the winner at 8:32
    on report from 29 districts.
    The revolution will not be televised.

    There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
    brothers in the instant replay.
    There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
    brothers in the instant replay.
    There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being
    run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process.
    There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy
    Wilkens strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and
    Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
    For just the proper occasion.

    Green Acres, The Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville
    Junction will no longer be so damned relevant, and
    women will not care if Dick finally gets down with
    Jane on Search for Tomorrow because Black people
    will be in the street looking for a brighter day.
    The revolution will not be televised.

    There will be no highlights on the eleven o’clock
    news and no pictures of hairy armed women
    liberationists and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose.
    The theme song will not be written by Jim Webb,
    Francis Scott Key, nor sung by Glen Campbell, Tom
    Jones, Johnny Cash, Englebert Humperdink, or the Rare Earth.
    The revolution will not be televised.

    The revolution will not be right back after a message
    about a white tornado, white lightning, or white people.
    You will not have to worry about a dove in your
    bedroom, a tiger in your tank, or the giant in your toilet bowl.
    The revolution will not go better with Coke.
    The revolution will not fight the germs that may cause bad breath.
    The revolution will put you in the driver’s seat.

    The revolution will not be televised, will not be televised,
    will not be televised, will not be televised.
    The revolution will be no re-run brothers;
    The revolution will be live.

    I kind of like the idea of a Johnny Cash song as the anthem for a revolution, “When the man comes around” would work really well

    The funny thing about these things is that the real Revolutions are technological, and sneak up on you like a well camouflaged predator. The political reorganizations that follow are the effects of The Revolution, not The Revolution itself. The Revolution will not be televised, because no one will realize what is going on until it has already happened.
