re: #12 publicityStunted

You were complaining earlier about MSM coverage of the protests. I saw two reports on NBC nightly news (yesterday’s edition and today’s). Both of them, in my opinion, portrayed the protests in a neutral-to-favorable light.

I believe this is the link to the report that aired earlier tonight: [Link: www.msnbc.msn.com…]

No wild-eyed commie radicals interviewed here, much to your chagrin I’m sure ;) The people come across as very average and very reasonable. There’s even a woman who acknowledges that direct comparisons to the Arab Spring protests are wrong, essentially saying that, even though those protesters faced a far more dire situation, OWS can still draw some inspiration from their actions.

Interesting. I recall when folks were saying the same TYPE of thing about tea partiers - but the folks they interviewed were perfectly nice folks - just regular, average folks.
