Occupy Cleveland canceled May Day protest plans to march in the city because of this:

32. Gee, and you are blaming ME?

You don't think that the news goes to the most dramatic and picture worthy events? Why would you not think that the images of people breaking things and lighting things on fire would be more interesting than the lumbering round-up of protesters by police, sporadically conducted throughout the day. You're a news manager for a network news station, now, and you are scheduling your half hour broadcast and OCCUPY gets thirty seconds--what pictures get put up?

I DO understand, you're the one who isn't living in the real world. That snarky $ you put in M$M is the bloody truth--network television lives and dies on advertising revenue. This isn't a surprise, you know.

Like I said--I would not be at all surprised to learn that those hoodie wearing disruptors were registered Republicans.

Look what the news covered. Cui bono? Occupy? Or not?

Occupy needs to understand that it lives and dies by that M$M and Occupy HAS THE POWER to shape the news. Paris Hilton and the Kardashians shape the news all the time. Surely the members of OCCUPY are at least as smart as those "celebrities?"

You're telling me hundreds of people with purpose are helpless against a few assholes with matches and fists? You're telling me no OCCUPY group is sharp enough to understand how to coordinate and execute a public relations plan?

I'd say you're the one with little faith, frankly.
