Keith Olbermann Covers Occupy Wall Street Protests Media Blackout

This is a video posted on September 21, 2011. In it, Keith Olbermann talks about the wall street protests that have been going on. He begins by talking about how the media completely ignored the protests early on.

Another thing he brings up are some of the arrests that occured when the protest began which were justified by a 166 year old law banning the wearing of masks at public gatherings.

Next, he brings up how Yahoo blocked any e-mail that contained a link to the occupy wall street website with the message "suspicious activity has been detected on your account".

He has a guest, Will Bunch, come on the show and they discuss the protest.

That is irrelevant, he's talking about the protests here, not his career choices.

lol Keith Olbermann doesn't own current tv Al Gore and Joel Hyatt does. And what does him being fired from MSNBC have to do with any of this? But your right shame on the people for not worshiping wall street like you apparently do.

At least this corporate shill isn't pushing incredibly blatant propaganda and attempting to influence people's perception of the protests by making the protestors look like idiots, Mr. Fox News: Compare the two videos and tell me which one seems more realistic and unbiased to you.

Also, here are some sentence punctuation tips that I suggest you learn.

I'm "blasting fox for" their propaganda. Did you watch that video? Did you see how hilariously obvious their attempts at influencing the public opinion of the protests were? It's not even subtle, it's just 7 minutes jam-packed with pure disinformation.

I didn't see the proclaimed corporate shill Olbermann calling the protestors heroin users who have no clue what they're doing there, did you? Can you point out to me where Olbermann said they have no cause and they're just trying to dirty the streets?
