I GOT IT - I know how to get the media to finally cover what's going on at Wall Street!!!!!
Yesterday I posted about how the media would cover 24x7 if 20 White People would show up to a teabagger rally.

So it's simple

Just have 20 white people in the Wall Street group hold up some fake Tea Bagger support signs and stand in the crowd.

The press will surely come running to cover these 'brave souls' and will then see exactly what is happening with the hundreds of other there for the protests against Wall Street.

4. but misspell a few words
If all the words are spelled correctly the media might suspect that something is up!

9. But those same PTB insist that, no matter the size, cover every Tea Party gathering ad nauseum
SO if they happen to be right there in the front of the Wall Street Protest - the media would have to show.

16. Stop Treading on Us
Edited on Wed Sep-28-11 10:30 AM by blm
Where the fock are all the Teabaggers who claimed to have been angry about the bailouts of financial elite in 2008 and 2009?

Funny how they never set their GPS to Wall Street.

17. I think it would be better not to give them any ideas and excuses.. Don't you think the
right-wingers already have some observers among Occupy Wall Street protesters right now?
They'll catch on, report it back home, and before long there'll be real Teabaggers
carrying signs, and invading in numbers larger than the real Wall Street Occupyers.

It would be better to leave things as they are. Occupy Wall Street is spreading over
our whole country -- and fast!

19. More teabaggers on Wall Street then our folks
:rofl:

NYC is one of them there lib-ral cities. They would be lucky if 5 people showed up.

If the rally isn't at a local park 20 minutes away from home that has enough room to park their lawn chairs - then they aren't intereted in coming.

18. A reporter from the NY Times has been to the protests everyday since the beginning
Edited on Wed Sep-28-11 10:44 AM by firehorse
slight threadjack: google: Colin Moynihan NY Times Wall street protests and you'll see his reporting practically every day.

I bring this up because there is a perception that there is no reporting or coverage. I also heard on NPR yesterday discussing the pepper spray cop with the interviewer clearly not agreeing with the pepper spraying.

21. Maybe so, but if people even did a generic search on google the articles will pop up
I think there is a meme of misinformation that its not being reported. It is. A bunch of reporters are there everyday. But they also need a newsworthy story for it to get printed.
