The Buffalo news, a company owned by one of the worlds largest corporations, is attempting to discredit the occupy movement. The hatchet job reporting that recently has taken place proves they are with the 1%. Fight back anyway possible, letters to the editor, e-mails to reporters and cancelled subscriptions will help. Today's story about police overtime cost was just another example of poor reporting. Don't blame the peaceful protestors, blame the mayor's of each particular city. There was no reason for the actions taken by certain police departments and the overtime cost are a result of poor planning. Having police in full riot gear attack peaceful protest is an illegal police state action.........the responsibilty does not lay at the feet of the movement it lays with the attention grabbing mayors who requested the police action.
