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.

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.

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.

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.

Casey Anthony is alive and well. She killed her daughter Caylee Anthony.

They used sound weapons on the protesters this morning:

7:29 AM PT: A blogger I trust is tweeting that LRAD is on site, and may be deployed against protesters.

7:32 AM PT: CNBC reports that journalists are being kicked out. At least one journalist arrested. NYPD Kettling occupiers on pine between broadway and nassau.

7:35 AM PT: Kettled protesters at Nassau and Pine are singing the national anthem.

7:36 AM PT: Protesters sing the national anthem at Nassau and Pine. The police respond with LRAD.

7:38 AM PT: Handheld LRAD used on protesters: http://twitpic.com/...

7:54 AM PT: Russia Today is confirming that LRAD was used.

I laughed.

You realize they tried to deploy it the night the raided the camp, but they faced it the wrong way, and hit their own officers, then couldn't get it turned off? You gotta watch the non-MSM media for the good tidbits

Personally, I would destroy the incessantly-beating drums. Violently and with feeling.

AP apparently called Cardus, estimate of 2,000 people in Foley Park: doctors, Verizon workers, unions have joined up with the protesters. NYPD just closed air space to NBC and CBS helicopters who were filming protest.

This could be getting good, because from here they are supposed to march to bridge.

Russia Today?

The Economist magazine which classified RussiaToday's reporting as "weirdly constructed propaganda" has suggested that the channel has provided a platform to conspiracy theorists. Julia Ioffe claims that Russia Today is a Kremlin propaganda outlet featuring "fringe-dwelling experts" and "was just a way to stick it to the U.S. from behind the façade of legitimate newsgathering."

An article published in The New Republic by James Kirchick characterized the news reportage of Russia Today as, "virulent anti-Americanism, worshipful portrayal of Russian leaders, and comical production values," that "can't help but revive the pettiness that was a distinctive feature of Soviet-era propaganda."[25]

An article by Accuracy in Media criticized RT as a "propaganda network funded by the Moscow regime of Vladimir Putin" and charged that it "regularly features Marxist and radical commentators. The article also cites the description of the network by former KGB officer Konstantin Preobrazhensky as “a part of the Russian industry of misinformation and manipulation” designed to mislead foreign audiences about Russian intentions."Furthermore, Preobrazhensky argues that Russia Today utilizes methods of propaganda that are "managed by Directorate 'A' of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service...with the specialty of Directorate ‘A’ is deceiving world public opinion and manipulating it. It has got a lot of experience over decades of the Cold War."

Yes, "that" Russia Today. Al Jazzera and Russia Today have been faithfully live-streaming the Ustream videos, then CNN a bit and MSNBC some. Faux News reported that the park was littered with needles last night (sheer lie). CNN had their camera trained on an empty Zuccotti park for an hour today, while they marched on NYSE. Duh.
