From the start of the Occupy Freak Street movement the media compared the protests to the tea party.

Based on jealousy over the movement that captured the nation prior to the November 2010 elections and since, the media wanted desperately to have protests they could relate to and promote. The tea party certainly was not that, so protecting #OWS has been their mission.

BigMedia has too much invested to report the truth.

Attaking the cameraman proved these guys are idiots. I have been involved in several political campaigns, usually for the underdog. Won some, lost more.

The kind of free coverage these nitwits have gotten is to die for and not to be wasted! To attack the people giving them the publicity they otherwise couldn’t afford: LUNACY!

Other hand, it fits. Look at the “demands”, essentially free everything, they clearly have no understanding of how the world works. Speaking of which, none of them “work”, at least not at anything constructive. Your local hooker or dope dealer contributes more to society; at least they generate economic activity, usually spent on consumer goods, a direct infusion of cash in a troubled economy.
