May 1 celebrated

May 1 went past. And I hoped for some media coverage of the May 1 celebrations in the US. And why should I not? After all, this is the country where May 1 kicked off for the first time and the class divisions among peoples are most clearly evident here than anywhere else.But guess what CNN, that liberal contestant of Fox, had to say: May 1 is celebrated in some parts of the world today as International Labor Day. And they went on to show the Soviet (of course), Germans and later on China.Unless of course the assumption is that US is not part of that International world. Just look at the pending UN proposals...In any case, Long Live May 1and Yes, finally got the Whosemedia.com up and running. More to spirits of the peoples' media!
