Jesus on a stick... local nooz
they showed an OWSer at a GA here asking for a moment of silence for BOTH the guy who shot at the WH and the PEOPLE at the WH.

Of course local media did not use that as a teachable moment. OWS is for all, and we should be concerned at a spiritual level for all humans... So they pulled a FOX technique... you decide...

By the way... I counted about 500 people, they counted 150 (I got practice in estimating crowds from EMS)

So the peaceful protest ended with that clip.

And this is how you create perceptions.


Yes Channel 9 makes the local FOX channel actually look fair and balanced...

1. Isn't the media supposeed to just report the facts and let you decide?
I thought that was the point. I'd rather them not wax philosophic about caring on a 'spiritual level.

And BTW, the person who made that comment is now saying he misspoke and that the shooter is actually a more like a terrorist.

2. Yes he did, after the shit sittring
Channel nine is the way it is... they are owned by a right wing owner, and they are KNOWN to put a certain spin..

Their coverage of the bridge also IMPLIED that they were shocked that things were ahem... peaceful...

3. The guy is an idiot who misspoke, so he said. He later came out with an amended statement.
You are going to see a lot of nitwits piping up and their comments given more weight than deserved because this movement, at least for now, has no leaders.

His verbal diarrhea is a bit of a cautionary tale. Not everyone needs to be articulate, but it is important to be clear as to one's meaning.

Tempest in a teapot. He's one guy, speaking for himself and no one else.
