Oh my local nooz is covering this

[nadinbrzezinski]

A slight slant, but hey. They are...sort off.

[JDPriestly]

1. What "this" are they covering?

[Electric Monk]

2. I'm guessing Occupy Oakland

Sloppy OP though to assume everyone knows.

3. Have you looked at any of tonight's post Subjects? Oakland #Occupy have been gassed,

and much more.

Nadin, KCAL 9 news Los Angeles had about ten seconds on Oakland, and said police "had to" use tear gas. Despicable.

6. When is the funeral

for the Constitution?

7. Oh, I thought she was talking about the Whole Earth Catalog!. nt

10. I just got on DU, looked at my DU responses from earlier posts

and then opened this post, so I did not know what was going on. Sorry.

[Electric Monk]

11. Not your fault

[Fire Walk With Me]

14. Sorry for opening up on you like that. I've walked into the same thing here

in the same way. I'm squirming from the violence and ugliness and you didn't deserve to have any of it put upon you. I apologize.

15. The NBC affiliate in Los Angeles (wholly-owned subsidiary of

GE, the nation's 2nd largest defense contractor) made it sound as if it was the protesters who were violent. I blasted them on their FB page but haven't bothered to contact those lackies and toadies directly, as they clearly don't give a shit about truth or accuracy.

N.B. Oakland media are reporting that the Occupy folks were entirely peaceful.

5. Both Oakland and San Diego.

The channel is known to lean to the right

[flamingdem]

4. Here as well

and they didn't make the Occupiers look bad at all - they did say they're trying to clear them out due to sanitary and safety problems..

[Fire Walk With Me]

8. A DUer posted tonight that they'd visited the site and didn't see any sanitation or dirt problems.

[Downwinder]

9. Saw an article that said the safety treat was a Hip Hop Concert.

[Electric Monk]

12. treat or threat? I'm assuming you meant threat.

[Downwinder]

13. Threat is correct -- Medicare doesn't cover vision.
