Snipers kill toddler as they fire on protesters

As rights campaigners gave warning that the country was once again teetering on the brink of full-blown civil war, forces loyal to the longstanding President Ali Abdullah Saleh opened fire on protesters for the second day in a row, bringing the death toll in the latest bout of bloodshed to about 50 people.
"Help me, oh my God look at his slaughter!" said the father of a boy killed by a bullet to the head, Al Jazeera reported.
"We were just in the car on Hayel Street. I stepped out to get some food and left my two boys in the car and I heard the older one scream. The little one was shot straight through the head."http://tools.ntnews.com.au/stories/48446051.php

Blackout: CNN, Fox, and MSNBC Ignore Thousands Of US Day Of Rage Protesters

Most Americans are being kept in the dark about the US Day of Rage by the corporate cable news giants at CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC who have imposed a de facto blackout on the protest.
Even though estimates have varied from hundreds to as many as 50,000 protesters flooded into Manhattan and others cities to take part in events around the country to, “nonviolently disrupt the disloyal, incompetent, and corrupt special interests which have usurped our nation’s civil and military power, spawning a host of threats to our liberty, lives and national security,” the three cable news networks have devoted no airtime to the story.
This is becoming an all too familiar scene. In Wisconsin hundreds of thousands of regular people took to the streets each weekend to protest the theft of their rights, and were completely ignored by CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC. http://www.politicususa.com/en/media-blackout-us-day-of-rage
