Sort of like the other thread about the Washington Post asking for dirt on Newt, the mainstream media has lost all attempts at being non-paritsan, they wave their liberal freak flag proudly.
Imagine a political movement created in a moment of terrible anxiety, its origins shrouded in a peculiar combination of manipulation and grass-roots mobilization, its ranks dominated by Christian conservatives and self-proclaimed patriots, its agenda driven by its members’ fervent embrace of nationalism, nativism and moral regeneration, with more than a whiff of racism wafting through it.
No, not that movement. The one from the 1920s, with the sheets and the flaming crosses and the ludicrous name meant to evoke a heroic past. The Invisible Empire of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, they called it. And for a few years it burned across the nation, a fearsome thing to *behold.
The Times, which thinks of itself as our nation’s newspaper of record and which at the very least helps shape elite opinion, should be combating dangerous stereotypes, not promoting them.

As someone who loves to promote dangerous stereotypes, I find your thread comical to say the least

So what's your point? For one thing, I am not a newspaper journalist, and for another the word "occupy" is confrontational at the very least, which explains why the OWS movement has been so lawless and violent.
