Activist and film maker Michael Moore gave a speech that seemed to be a morale booster for the Oakland protesters.   We counted 13 TV news vans or satellite trucks at the Moore speech.   Did all 13 of those news organizations "scoop" Fox Views?  

 

One of the more extreme ideas percolating in the product development department at the Amalgamated Conspiracy Theory Factory is that it would be very convenient for the next Republican President if the liberal Democrat now in the White House increased the speed at which America seems (according to leftists) to be sliding towards fascism.   Wouldn't the next Republican to reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue be grateful if the current occupant could provide a Reaganesque type bloodbath to diminish enthusiasm for all these Occupy events?

 

Friday night on October 28, Mike Malloy, on his talk radio program, mentioned that during the TV coverage of Tuesday night's activities in Oakland two of the local Bay Area TV channels suspended their live TV coverage just before the police started their response to the "Violence" because they both noticed that they were running low on fuel and had to go "gas up" again.  

 

We have seen one online story that indicates that Google was asked to remove videos indicating that there may have been some Police brutality that occurred in Oakland when the Police shut down the first installment of Occupy Oakland.

 

It may seem, to those addicted to conspiracy theories, that not only is the right to peaceful protest obsolete, but that freedom of the press is on the endangered species list, in the Land of the Free.
