Anybody else notice this about coverage in their neck of the woods?

1. kinda the opposite here



Detroit — They're not all hippies.

They're not all anarchists or socialists. They're not a bunch of unemployed, uneducated, homeless people looking for a handout.

The 100 or so residents of Occupy Detroit have different backgrounds and varying political beliefs, but in a week, they have come together through the rain, cold winds and rats in Grand Circus Park because they want what is fair.

It's a broad and simple concept, but they believe with enough support, the corporate greed fueled by a lack of government regulation, as they say, can one day stop.

2. Obviously #Occupy are the only ones willing to help the homeless. Isn't that in the Bible?
Helping the poor and that sort of thing, not attacking those who do...shame, shame...you can judge a society by how it treats its weak!

4. The Hearst owned Media in San Francisco has been ragging on
Occupy Oakland all along. What else would you expect from corporate media?

5. They should commend OWS for doing the right
thing and taking care of them.
