BBC Censorship: Occupier Ugliness Edition

Has anyone else noticed that the BBC has gone totally silent about the Occupy Wall St. movement in the US? With the exception of a couple stories about the violence innocent exercising of rights in Oakland, where they shut down a shipping port and attacked police were victims of unprovoked brutality from The Man, there has been scarcely a peep from BBC News for days. After a flurry of encomia impartial reports on how nice and earnest and well-meaning the Occupiers are, the more violent and unhinged they became, the quieter the Beeboids got. Just two days after the original Occupiers hit Zuccotti Park, Daniel Nasaw tried to tie them directly to the Democrat/Union protests in Wisconsin (which the BBC also reported dishonestly), claiming that this was the "birth of a movement". It all seemed so wonderfully clear then, didn't it? The Occupier activity around the country is one of the most important stories going lately, especially since the Oakland City Council is about to cave in to the violence and now support the Occupiers. But the BBC seems to be censoring nearly all news of it. They've gone silent because they don't want you to know about things like this: Zuccotti protesters put up women-only tent to prevent sexual assaults

Zuccotti Park has become so overrun by sexual predators attacking women in the night that organizers felt compelled to set up a female-only sleeping tent yesterday to keep the sickos away.*
Or this: Occupy protest turns violent outside Washington Convention Center

SUNDAY MORNING LIVE UPDATE

Well, I didn't make it onto Sunday Morning Live. I was the "stand by" for Angela Epstein. Angela was able to make it so that was fine. However I was present in the Green Room with the former Bishop of Hulme, Stephen Lowe. Had an interesting exchange with him. He is the guy who is "not sure" if this is an afterlife, he is the guy who defended Druid William's "Sharia" comments. He is a proud socialist, Labour Party member, and he wears the Red Poppy because, as he put it to me. he lacks the courage to wear the White Poppy. I suggested he should wear a white feather. The atmosphere rather cooled! ;-) but my coffee was hot.
