Boston Globe's Swiss Miss

I like a good cup of cocoa before bed:

"Swiss Cabinet calls for reactor phaseout" May 26, 2011|Associated Press

BERN, Switzerland — The Swiss Cabinet called for the decommissioning of the country’s five nuclear power reactors yesterday and new energy sources to replace them....

On Sunday, about 20,000 people took part in the biggest antinuclear protest in Switzerland in 25 years, fueled by concern about the continuing crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan....  

And it took until Thursday and halfway through a world brief to let us know? 

I suppose should be grateful the AmeriKan media mentioned it at all, huh?

--more--"  

Also see: A Swiss TV crew asks me why U.S. media aren't talking about this. (Gulf Coast Syndrome)

Greeks Occupy all Central Squares Arab Style to get IMF Out

Spanish Revolution Goes Worldwide, Media Largely Ignores It  

Yeah, I notice the PROTESTS THERE have been VIRTUALLY IGNORED by the AmeriKan media.
