1. Coverage of the world
Edited on Sat Oct-15-11 05:34 PM by malaise
Of course they're showing the violence in Rome but admit that demonstrations were largely peaceful in England- part of a movement which started in the UN\S.

On to Germany, Australia, Hong Kong, Paris - Spain-300,000 - back to New York - it's like New Year's Eve in Time Square. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaah hahahaha- Tax the rich

This is magnificent

11. Pretty good coverage, but this event seems big enough to deserve
a much broader field of reporting.

I was pretty disgusted when a woman reporter said that the REAL test of OWS influence
would be seen at election time. Ummm....that's a pretty narrow and shallow view of
just what's going on here. It's waaaaay beyond which politician the ptb decide to
put in office. People get that the system is broken and don't look to Washington to
lead the change.

13. Remember tax day with the tea party events.. They covered them
all day live forever. No one but the live feeds is doing the job the reporters should.

25. True. And considering that the only thing being aired on the other stations is NASCAR
and football, well....nuff said.

14. I'm surprised (but elated) that media outlets aren't ignoring this like they did the peace protests
prior to the Iraq invasion.

20. There were so many reporters at OWS today.
I was interviewed by some newspaper, I'm not even sure - my friend was interviewed on camera. We were constantly walking by people being interviewed.

21. Ha! They also just did a story about moving your money to credit unions, comm. banks, etc!.
The story made all the new bank fees look really snarky and interviewed a couple who
moved their money when the bank started charging them money to keep their money in
the bank!!! They moved it to a credit union and while it was a bit of a pain in the butt
to got through that process they said it was worth it on principle.

28. what was the largest Tea Party demonstration ever?
Glenn Beck's? (Which I seem to recall was pretty small considering all the whoop-de-doo that preceded it.)
