Media Blackout at OWS

RT

Are you wondering why there isn't a whole lot of video of the actual OWS raid going down? 

Well, it's also because there was an attempted media blackout. 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.
