Here's a piece from RT where a reporter actually takes time to speak with someone involved in the "Occupy" protest in the UK today...
...and here is a report from our media which starts out with the presumption that the protests will automatically be violent (nice - I think there was trouble in Italy, though...more here and here)...
(By the way, more here - and to get an idea again of how the news organizations with initials for names are treating this, I went to ABC's site and all I could find was a supposedly humorous slide show of "unusual" signs at the protest in Zuccotti Park, as if this is nothing but a sideshow novelty act...memo to Diane Sawyer; please pass the sweet and sour shrimp while "the help" decides to get on with the messy business of standing up to the steamroller driven by your corporate puppet masters.)
...and turning to something altogether different, today is the 60th anniversary of the premiere of "I Love Lucy" on CBS (good luck trying to show a bit like this now; sorry about the Russian subtitles - not that that's bad, I know - but this is a really good quality vid).
