On the press...and occupy. [View all]
"Who are these guys?"
"Occupy San Diego, that's what they do."
This is a paraphrase of a conversation between a bar patron and a San Diego cop in February during one of the many street actions. You might ask, what does this have to do with the press? Well, it's the attitude, that's what they do. It's become routine.
At this point it will take something new to get our press to go, not another occupy story.
I got no idea what that will be. For the record the fuck the cops marches attracted zero newsies as well. And arrests, they are the blotter stories now, like meh, not another. (I got one to follow once I get healthy enough, occupier beat the system and was found not guilty). But you get the picture. Even when occupy is up to it's neck, student walkout, being part of it has lost it's magic.
So bring this to your local ga. I am sure OSD ain't gonna like it, but all those downtown walking tours are now meh! (As far as the press is concerned).
On the bright side social movements soldier on press or no press, but I scratch my head, what will remove the meh factor?
