I was at the Shut-up-a-thon outside the corporate headquarters of FOX. It was great! about 500 people chanting, yelling, holding up signs. Pretty successful, only about 5 arrests. They set up a pen, but it wasn't that bad this time. People from the NewsCorp building were staring down at us. It was excellent

I don't hate people. I hate Fox News. It spreads lies, which encourages people to do thigns I hate.

These are pictures from the Fox News Shut-up-a-thon. I have tons more too.
Notice that all the cops videotaping have absolutely no identification. I asked a bike-cop why that was, and he said that those people with the video cameras usually have desk jobs. I noted that they also have guns, and that really isn't a good reason not to have visible identification. He didn't have much more to say.

Post more FOX Shut-up-a-thon photos, please. They're great!

Dude, I'm lookin . . .

The cops were complaining today that THEY were corralled into pens and videotaped at Shea Stadium where they were picketing Bloomberg over their contract. They complained that videotaping is illegal. Funny - what goes around comes around. Yah?

re: the comment about the hypocrisy of police complaining about surveillance at their labor rally... I think that any group doing labor organizing is right to expect different treatment--including different laws about video cameras and surveillance--than other sorts of political gatherings. I'm not saying that's right or wrong, only that the laws protecting labor organizing activities are fairly broad and include protections against the implied intimidation of videotaping their organizing work.

the law is the law. they can't videotape unless they suspect criminal activity, but they are doing it all over the place. ANd the cops know it, cause they are the ones doing it to the protestors, but they think they should get special treatment. well that's what happens when
you trust the man.

My Letter to Fox:

"Yesterday C-Span aired the entire half a million people protest in New York
City. I was shocked to hear so many people yelling "Fox News Sucks!" as
they were passing your billboard. In fact, it was louder than the anti-Bush
chants. Is this why you were reporting about the protests from inside the
convention center? And why would you say that the protest was much smaller
than organizers were expecting? Actually, it was much bigger.

If you need a story tip, the real story is the half a million people
protesting yesterday and other groups protesting today, not the corporate
crackpots you so love to have drivel on your "news" programs.

Oh, by the way, did you know that you have a big anti-Kerry ad on your
website but not one against Bush. You might want to correct that just to be
"fair and balanced" you know.

P.S. the porn star you had on the other night was great! It's funny, I
thought I was watching Jon Steward for a moment I was laughing so loud. I
especially like her suggestion to your blonde anchor that if her news
career wasn't going well that she might consider porn for a living. I guess
she understood what presstitudes you really are. Porn is the next logical
step.

>the law is the law. they can't videotape unless they suspect criminal activity, but they are doing it all over the place. ANd the cops know it, cause they are the ones doing it to the protesters, but they think they should get special treatment. well that's what happens when

Where the hell did you go to law school? Television Law Academy? You're clueless. This is not TV. Your arrest will be real, too.

just a guess, buy maybe he went to some old out-of-touch law school that actually teaches the Bill of Rights. we all know that just so old-news these days, but maybe his backwater law school hadn't gotten the news.
