OCCUPY was not at all like this, though I, of course, didn't attend all of the protests all over the country, but only right wingers and FOX portrayed the Occupy movement as negatively as CSI Miami. They, have lost me as a fan for that lying storyline about OWS on that show. <br />As for Noah's comments, he can't tell it any other way based on the show's title questions that was asked. And why dig into records of people arrested at the protests, if not to show them in a negative light, as a "gotchs" demonstration? Surely many may have been disillusioned and disenchanted about gov't and may not have voted due to the rigged game they perceived, that means nothing about their seriousness to want to change the narrative. The news slant was obvious sounding to me, not an objective story at all.nash984954https://www.blogger.com/profile/06326427178626206143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8353674387178431008.post-26082456708257858452011-11-29T14:52:30.967-08:002011-11-29T14:52:30.967-08:00Also, at Noah.

I don't even know most of the companies that advertise on our station - that occurs in a separate, autonomous department.<br /><br />The investigative team comes up with our stories as a small, five-person unit, with no outside influence.<br /><br />Our newsroom covers stories as they happen in our community, and we do NOT cover every protest in Tampa Bay - but we have covered the Occupy movement more than any other in recent memory. We have gone to Curtis Hixon Park on numerous occasions to let protesters speak their minds.<br /><br />I hope you remain open to the fact that - just maybe - we don't perceive Occupy as a threat and we aren't aiming to cast it in any specific light.<br /><br />Thanks for watching 10 News.Noah Pranskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341946902034828581noreply@blogger.com
