Well, he may tell me, but I may not believe.

My fucking virgin ears.

One "asshole" does not a NSFW make.
Just my opinion, I guess we need the honcho to make the call, but if I'm not mistaken that is okay on broadcast tv now.


Who watches these videos at work with speakers rather than headphones, anyway? Sometimes a video is marked NSFW and I think "Oh, someone probably just says 'fuck'" and then suddenly there's surprise nudity and the person sitting next to me says "WTF are you watching?" as they chose that second to look at my screen.

Okay.. so any Americans want to inform us outsiders why Religion is an election issue in (what my understanding is supposed to be) a secular state?


Stupidity.

I'm not sure I get the point of this comparison... That each network is slanted in a certain direction, and tends to report news that fits this slant?


Not so much that. They're both ostensibly left-leaning. It's more about the subtle ways even a left-leaning channel like MSNBC can still wind up with some very pro-corporate editorial decisions.

I think having Countdown be wall-to-wall Occupy Wall Street night after night might be overdoing it, but I was rather ticked that on a night when there were some real developments happening there, MSNBC decided to drop everything and spend 3+ hours on talking about Steve Jobs.

Even over the next few days, the MSNBC lineup has almost been dragged into talking about OWS by other media, rather than making it their lead story night after night, and dragging other media into talking about it.

Most nights the lead stories on MSNBC and Countdown are pretty similar. With Occupy Wall Street, they haven't been.

The 3+ hours of uninterrupted talk about Steve Jobs just ticked me off. Seemed like an attempt to blackout coverage of OWS on a night when there was another wave of mass arrests happening.

I think the medis is beginning to take this more seriously:
Occupy Wall Street Arrests; Fox 5 Crew and Protesters Hit by Mace, Batons
Several video angles of the night's violence here:

Makes me afraid that we'll see planted Agent provocateurs soon.

Why don't these people bitch at the President? They're all revolutionaries and maybe he could front them a favor.


I don't think it's possible to generalize and say they are all revolutionaries, everyone is there for their own reasons. The President has almost nothing to do with this, he's a puppet, protesting at him would be like protesting to your favorite teddy bear.

Because if you're rich you have to be a selfish cunt, right?
>> ^lantern53:

'It's good to see the media has finally shown up'
'IT'S GOOD TO SEE THE MEDIA HAS FINALLY SHOWN UP!'
The drones are following the queen bee.
Where is the sense with this person...isn't he rich from his own efforts? Why doesn't he give it all away? Because he's a hypocrite.

So "hating" on the protestors aside, I'm curious of your beliefs: Are you totally ok with how the very rich are becoming increasingly richer? Do you support it as positive for the US economy? >> ^Winstonfield_Pennypacker:

Answer: Because communists, anarchists, and marxists inevitably gravitate to each other - natch. If Wisconsin taught us anything it is that unions are in favor of generalized thuggery and rabble-rousing against the public.

There is no better illustration of just how ignorant and dumb the protesters are than this laundry list of glittering stupidity. They couldn't demonstrate any more clearly just how radical and out of touch with reality they are if they tried. Now, doubtless many of you here in the Sift will give a rousing huzzah to their list. I rest my case.
And relevant to this vid they want to unionize all workers. Ding ding ding.
