I haven't read the last couple hundred posts in the thread, so excuse me if this point has been made, but why are you bitching about people in the press bitching about the occupiers? Isn't the whole point of their "occupation" to get people to talk about "it", for better or for worse? What are you whining about exactly? The occupiers have achieved the most they could have asked for... They've been sitting around for a couple weeks posting twitter updates from their iphones while squatting on property they don't own, and their cause is getting press because of it.
Were you expecting a positive spin from the National Post? No? So if the National Post had just ignored this whole thing, would you be here complaining that they are selective about their stories? Would you prefer that the National Post said nothing at all?
