A batch of links from OWS re May Day actions.

Thanks for helping us create a beautiful May Day! The world watched as thousands of us gathered in the morning for a pop-up occupation, pickets and marches around New York City, and tens of thousands rallied at Union Square and then marched to Wall Street.

A sampling of media coverage is below. If you want to see some great photos, hear the voices of protesters, or watch Reuters call the day a “dud” and then turn around and retract it an hour later, read more!

no serious. I saw it last night locally with my local nooz.

"hundreds attend Ron Paul Rally." Followed by the tight shot showing at least 1500... LOLZ all around.

The media choses winers and losers. My estimate is 5000, but it is safer to just say thousands in the article.

The media has a definite agenda, and it affects specific groups. We are long gone from what we attempt at the paper. a truly neutral coverage... regardless of what my personal feelings or political believes may be.

"real close to home local news outlets" with a definite agenda also.

Their agenda seems very concerned about our agenda.

Qué hace este aspecto como a ti? Crees que es un calcetín?
