Ok compare and contrast... we have two occupy encampments
under attack RIGHT FRACKING NOW... and a SPORTS RELATED riot at Penn State...
Where or what is CNN Covering?
I mean if they were going back and forth, sure, I get it... but where exactly are they?
Do you need any more proof of where our lovely unbiased media is at?

3. I don't know because I'm not watching CNN. However, I am guessing from your tone
that they are covering Penn State.
It is difficult to cover OWS because of the leaderless nature of the enterprise. If a reporter asks someone on the street about what is happening, the claims of selective coverage/bias follow. Better to just film first, do a rehash later.
At Penn State, or any college, they have their own media people who know how to interact with the news outlets. If they ask a question of the entity that is Penn State, they'll get an answer that won't change from person to person and will be regarded as definitive.

Who needs leaders when you're not going anywhere?

This is one case where nads is 100% correct. It does indeed show the bias of the media. The media knows that if it shines much of a light on OWS then normal and decent people will see just how kooky the left really is and will be less inclined to vote dem at election time. As a result the media is trying to turn the attention of normal people elsewhere.
Of course I'm pretty sure nads doesn't realize it exactly this way.

Uh huh.
But it appears nadin doesn't see a lot of things the way they really are.

Reading that DUmp thread was like watching a pissing duel between a couple of skunks. :banghead:

32. I have watched the process on the livestream.
I think--frankly--it is the most boring shit I've ever seen. It's like a bad episode of SURVIVOR for urban people. Horrible. Lots of "speakers" who won't shut up, use twenty words when two will do, murder the English language, have little to say, ...
Followed by a post by JDPriestly, with his irritating John Edwards avatar, that's about as long as War and Peace, going blah blah blah blah, thus illustrating MADem's point exactly. :lmao:
...followed by several more, rambling on and on about museums, where she lives, how old she is, this & that.

I meta-disagree. All I have been seeing in the electronic and print media is OWS's killings, rapes, TB infections, assaults, riots, and rapes. They like rape.

I expect the Penn State student riot was several times larger than all the Occupy sites where anything was happening put together.
