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.

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, ...
