"Police have targeted: medics, legal observers, law collective . . . ""10:50am: Freedom Plaza. The police are surrounding everyone and they are starting to make arrests, including an NPR journalist. Everyone is being peaceful, except the cops."
"The police beat up two men and dragged them across the street and threw them into a van."
We can only assume that the corporate media both locally in DC and nationally are going to be (have been) more shrill and alarmist than NPR. Local Seattle NPR affiliate KUOW, more humane than the NPR HQ, is currently running a one-hour show on the protests featuring an interview with Joseph Stiglitz, who won last year's Nobel Prize in economics and served formerly as chief economist from the World Bank. He now speaks out against corporate-only-globalization. Over 500 people in DC have already been arrested.
