Occupy Boston participants discuss next moves“BOSTON—Occupy Boston participants say they’re getting together to discuss their next moves now that they have been evicted from Dewey Square.
Group members plan to meet at 5 p.m. Sunday at the Boston Common Bandstand, where more than 100 also gathered Saturday night to reiterate their dedication to their movement.
Boston police swept through Dewey Square early Saturday and cleared out Occupy Boston’s encampment. Demonstrators had been camping in tents, holding general assembly meetings and meeting there to discuss their concerns for the last 10 weeks.
They said Sunday that being moved out of Dewey Square does not signal an end to their work.
Their protests are part of a nationwide movement of Occupy participants who are demonstrating against what they consider corporate greed and economic injustice.”~Boston.com/AP Photo credit: Yahoo/reuters
Media Misdirection #28: “… demonstrating against what the consider corporate greed and economic injustice.” “What they consider?” Really? How much stronger of a case would you need than what has been brought to light over the past few years - and especially what has been brought to light over the past few months.
The ambiguous language used by the Boston Globe/Associated Press to describe the thrust of the protests continues to minimize the importance of the protests, in the ever-clearer hope that the middle class will remain asleep (er, to mix metaphors somewhat there).
Contrast that language (“what they consider …”) to the forceful, direct language used when describing topics as spurious as Obama’s birth certificate or Michelle Bachman’s endless verbal gaffes over her lack of knowledge of history and politics.
Continuing to lose respect for the national media and its “freedom of the press.”
