We join the Longest Walk in Taos, NM and talk with American Indian Movement's Dennis Banks... Dennis has a long history standing up and fighting for human rights, look him up if you're not in the know.

Haven't heard of The Longest Walk?

Of course you haven't - most mainstream media ignored it and 'new media/bloggers' like the Huffington Post missed it. New Media/blogging has a LONG way to go. Most bloggers are carbon copies of who and what they see on T.V. and outlets like the Huffington Post continue the trend of only giving a voice to the over educated, out of touch, wanna be writers posing as a journalists.

Tip to the world of 'news' reporting - Wanna get the dirt? employ a plumber, drug dealer, stripper or someone who lives off of food stamps and you'll truly have your ear to the street.

And to the blogging community - your podcamps and new media expos are lacking what would truly make blogging/podcasting something respectable - breaking the news that the white washed huffington posts of the world miss and reporting on folks of differing backgrounds and color.

Shame on ALL who missed reporting on The Longest Walk.
