Never realized it is the rich and powerful that are so into who killed Casey Anthony, who got kicked off Dancing with the Stars and the dead Michael Jackson's physician.

He is a main stream President who ran as a main stream candidate, no threat to Wall Street and the rich (his actions more than prove that), McCain was a bit of a wild card and not trusted completely by the power elite, and Palin...my God! For the most part, news agencies cover elections pretty fairly as there is seldom much to choose from regarding the candidates. Notice how Paul is pretty much ignored by the media, I don't agree with a lot of his views but I can see that he's treated like poison.

Of course not, but it fills a news cast so Occupy Wall Street can be ignored. Casey Anthony, Michael Jackson and DWTS is fluff to satisfy the minds of the public so they don't focus on their own lives. Think about it, mindless "entertainment" is a narcotic to the general public...rich folks would much rather water cooler discussions focus on who got kicked off DWTS rather than looking critically at the mess this country is in!

Uh, you realize that journalism isn't based upon passive-aggressive feelings of hate and inadequacy? Projecting a little there, huh :D

I know you addressed that to Somer, but good lord, the contrast between Obama and Caribou Barbie of Hate was stark. Obama couldn't help but look good! Especially when McCain's campaign was the one that labeled him a celebrity :D

Hasn't that changed since the election? The guy was treated like a rock star. His whole platform was Change and more imprtantly I'm not Bush, the media never called him out on anything.

Good thing, seeing the NYPD threw out their computers, slashed their big tents and sawed their tent poles (on the big army tents) into pieces to destroy them.

See, this is America, and even if one thinks protesters are miscreants, or (strangely) "spoiled, whining brats attempting to assign blame for their failures on anyone but themselves" - they are American citizens, and peaceful protest, such as walking along a street chanting, is allowed.

Well, it used to be.

At some point you may realize that there isnt much newsworthy that happens at these Occupy places unless it involves somebody taking a dive trying to hit the police brutality lottery ticket.

:tro:

The fact that American citizens are taking to the streets in protest would seem newsworthy to me. Again, there wasn't much "newsworthy" in our protests in the 60's except when Bull and his boys broke out the fire hoses, dogs and clubs. Even if most of what is happening is mundane, it's still newsworthy and the only way folks rights can be protected in through the presence of "eyes"...social media and left wing coverage will always be subject to question while NBC covering an 84 year old woman being pepper sprayed would have a much larger effect.

You are wrong about the content of what they are protesting being newsworthy. After 2 months it isnt news that they are protesting.

Another cubscout at the protests

Perhaps you should turn on the live stream in another window on your computer. Occupy has thousands of people in nearly 200 locations around the world. Peaceful, non-violent protests by normal people of all political stripes.

Sounds like there isnt much peaceful going on in NY today

It's been pretty well, 2 arrests in Zuccotti, and the multiple arrests at one corner this morning with the Wall Street NYSE march.

Open another window, and click on that stream .... the police have the protesters stopped at a street, the protesters are being good, but they've stopped the protesters??? The police are trying to barricade the march. Idiots. Where do they expect thousands of people to go? Good lord.

Back to work like the rest of us?

Home perhaps?

Only 13% of OWS people are unemployed, per polling. Matches the general population

it's free speech.

the fact that he already faces charges for assault means nothing. i'm sure that cop had it coming. they're all worthless don'tchaknow.

like i said, headlines every day about peaceful protesters being arrested. then you read the article.
trespassing, blocking intersections, stopping traffic, destruction of property, etc.
