(10-24) 12:31 PDT SAN FRANCISCO -- Northern California clergy joined the Occupy movement this morning in a march that snaked through San Francisco's Financial District.

About 200 supporters of the Occupy movement marched down Market Street, singing religious songs and waving banners, including some reading, "Forgive us our debts."

1. And a very interesting blog entry by SFGate's Zennie on Oakland's Occupation

robdog sez check it out. This journalist has some cojones. I think I remember what a free press is all about when I read things like this. I am going to email him right away and give him a big THANK YOU for his actions here. Very brave in light of what he is apparently up against.

Read the whole thing and watch the videos. Very enlightening.

...The whole move toward eviction seems to have been started by the selfishness of certain specific San Francisco Bay Area Media types, and perhaps with a healthy assist from Breitbart TV.

If you know that name, Breitbart TV is part of the web based media effort owned by rag tag conservative bad boy Andrew Breitbart, who put out the Hollyfield story. (Which I’m not sure would be a story for Andrew had Amy been black instead of white.)

Breitbart TV has made numerous YouTube videos under different spam channels to communicate the idea that there’s nothing but bad stuff going on at Occupy Oakland – especially with respect to the media.

Take these videos reporting on the alleged harassment of reporters, below. Note that they’re based on the news telecast of local stations, specifically ABC Channel 7 and CBS Channel 5 in San Francisco and Channel 2 News in Oakland:
