Rare Exception to Media Blackout of Media Blackout

Local news report was a rare exception to the pattern of mainstream media's blackout of the story that the police were imposing a media blackout. Chris Glorioso's reporting was a rare exception to media blackout of NYPD's suppression of reporting on OWS eviction.

Occupy Crackdown Targets Journalists "For the past two months I have been tracking journalist arrests at Occupy protests around the country. Tuesday, Nov. 15, was the worst day yet in terms of police suppression of the press."

Press Suppression at Occupy Wall Street Raid "Around 1:00am on Tuesday, Nov 15th, the NYPD moved in to clear Zuccotti Park of all protestors and equipment. Over the next 12 hours, both independent and mainstream journalists were prevented from covering the story, and 8 credentialed journalists (including AP, NPR, NY Daily News) were arrested." http://storify.com/bendoernberg/press-suppression-at-occupy-wall-street-raid

"Reporters from news organizations big and small all flocked down to the park once word broke that police were clearing out, and there they found police who were hostile, barred them from entering the area, and even in a few cases, got violent. It was very clear that the police and Mayor Bloomberg did not want the press, or the rest of America to see what was happening here. The mainstream media gave coverage to the fact that the raid happened, but didn't even mention the fact that journalists were being barred from covering it." Alyona Show

Journalists Obstructed at Zuccotti Park "The NYPD has come under fire from journalists for deliberately blocking their view of the overnight eviction at Zuccotti Park. Chris Glorioso was one of the first reporters on the scene, and offers his first-hand account here." By NBC New York "VIDEO: Media Pushed Back from Occupy Wall Street Raid Police and mayor said it was for their protection."
"Several members of the media reported being blocked from covering the Occupy Wall Street raid overnight, with police pushing them back from the action and preventing reporting and photographing ... journalists were detained by police, including AP writer Karen Matthews, AP photographer Seth Wenig and Daily News reporter Matthew Lysiak, the AP said. ... journalists who identified themselves as working for the New York Post and New York Daily News were pushed back by police in riot gear, along with NBC New York's Chris Glorioso." "Using the hashtag #mediablackout, journalists tweeted throughout the raid about their dustups with police." (from article by By Jonathan Dienst and Shimon Prokupecz | Wednesday, Nov 16, 2011) http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2011/11/rare-exception-to-media-black...

Can you tell us why we have to go? Because I said so, let's go. In one episode, officers moved myself and a group of other reporters. The New York Police Department prevented the press from covering the raid on the Occupy wall Street camp at Zuccotti park. And most of the mainstream media didn't report this attack on freedom of the press by the police! Most mass media did a media blackout of the news that police were enforcing a media blackout. New York Post -- this is the New York Post right here. Daily News -- Daily News right there -- NBC -- and we're all being left on a street corner. Reporter Chris Glorioso tells viewers what the police were doing to the press, something most mainstream media didn't report. The trend across mainstream media was to not report that police had enforced a blackout. A blackout which prevented reporters from covering the Zuccotti park eviction. This local news report was a rare exception to the mainstream media's trend to not report these violations of freedom of the press.

The main stream media is no longer news, or journalists.

They're corporate mouth pieces,

They're an enemy of the people.

The good ole USA is going down the toilet

[pw1straw]

over the yrs i've learned that news 4 the most part is what the money system tells them news is. the truth might get a blip on the tube or a line in the paper. the internet provides more news than any of the so called main stream broadcasts or papers. i knew @ the beginning this would happen, glad no 1 was hurt. they're not going 2 give up their power w/ a protest. be for real. 2 get justice served is what we need 2 get back on track. if there is such a thing.

@mrx0066600 lol when muslims which i am one over the propet mohammed pbuh in a danish cartoon everyone made fun of the arabs and said they cant take a joke , i dont like to rub it in but ... cant you take a joke america?

The Main Stream Media is actually there. They're not black out. Maybe some freelance reporters are blocked out but the Main Stream is there. ?That's another aspect of this which I hope you investigate.

MSM is inciting and recording riots. They've done it in the past. This is a media attempt and creating a smokescreen and covering up the real story.

I hope more people will learn about and report on this tactic by MSM.

It's meant to discredit the protests

Like Lavon and USS Liberty

Willfully omitting and disregarding facts, or injecting their [sponsors] opinion is morally reprehensible, and makes a mockery of the first amendment.
