MSNBC Morning Joe – Watered Down Coffee
After flipping through channels looking for OWS information this morning and finding nothing but typical morning Friday fluff, I had left the TV on TiVo. It timed out and went to live TV, which just happened to be Morning Joe on MSNBC. Joe was talking with Simon Hobbs at the New York Stock Exchange.
The piece started out joking about his outfit. Then it went into some commentary from Simon making it sound like looters were about to take over a department store and due to advance intelligence, the heroic police averted a potential catastrophe. Wtf?
Then, later, this little back and forth:
Joe: Alright, looks like peaceful protests out there. Did you see any hints of violence?
Simon: There were scuffles. But you never know whether that's actually the photographers, and there were hundreds of photographers, almost as many as there were protesters. When they put the police on the motorbikes, on the mopeds, there was some trouble there, but I couldn't say it was violence for sure. It didn't look violent to me.
The piece ended with more commentary from Joe on Simon's clothes.
Wow. Hard hitting. I'm looking forward to real photos and YouTube videos which I'm sure are coming soon.

Example of main-stream media covering OWS
Following Keith Olbermann tweets. Sounds like a lot going on with police and protesters. However, can't find news coverage on cable – anywhere, including Current and MSNBC. Flipping through channels and nothing. Especially "funny" is passing by ABC's GMA and cheering Times Square crowd behind their weatherman. Average no-news Friday. Really? Seriously? Yup.

Breaking Bad – Just watched the season finale…
I just watched the season finale and was going to post but forgot until I saw the wallpaper share from +Florian Rohrweck (ps, thanks!). Anyone else amazed at the season finale? For most of this season, I thought this was the last season. Guesses where next season is going to go?
Beware readers… comments could contain spoilers.

This is what you look like right now.
It's funny 'cuz it's true. It's more of a mirror image since I'm right-handed. Otherwise, I had hand to chin and was just casually surfing my Google+ stream. Anyone else caught in the pose?

Jennifer Granholm, former MI governor, coming to Current TV
Who, you say? Give her a shot sometime if you don't know her. I didn't realize until today she was going to have a show on Current. You either like Keith Olbermann's style or you don't, but I think he's doing well building a progressive news lineup over there at Current. Cenk Uygur's "The Young Turks" coming in November and now this in January.

Warning, requires actual reading…
A good commentary on the state of society and people that I read this morning by +Laurie Morrison.
I enjoy Google+ but anything that takes more than a second to digest gets washed downstream and lost way too quick. As I run into words I like, I'm going to start re-sharing them. Comments on the shared content should be left on the original post. -Scott

Just a commentary:
As I sit here watching the news, reading papers & listening to radio commentators (yes, I DO do that) it saddens me to think of all the things that are going on in the world right now. All of the unnecessary unhappiness, hardships & sadness all do to the greed & manipulations of a few and the acceptance & participation of the many.
So many of today's problems could be easily solved & not through government or higher taxes on a few. Through educating & informing each other. Giving each other a hand when down or struggling. Getting up & being active when we see somethings run amok. Speaking out when things are wrong.
Protests only have value when the message is delivered in a manner in which the message is HEARD & not overshadowed by the theater surrounding it. They only have value when the protests are against the actual things that are the issue rather than shadows of the real thing.
It so saddens me to look at so many people that are so angry & afraid, but not always thinking about what is the right way to go about things in order to garner the change that they seek.
In my humble opinion, we all need to be more self reflective, more pro active for ourselves & less dependent on others to "Fix" things for us. We need to have more empathy for those that can't help themselves, but in real ways & not follow the rhetoric designed to create a final outcome that misses the point entirely. We need to stop with the envy of others & if we want what someone else has, then determine within ourselves what WE must do to get it rather than take cause we want it or we THINK we "deserve" it. We must applaud, encourage & even demand excellence in ourselves & each other. We must reward & appreciate effort & achievement rather than punish & envy & it. We must also seek to teach our children to stand up for themselves, stand up for who they are & what they believe in, to work hard, that life isn't always fair, but it IS worth the effort even when things don't always work out as we want them too. We need to stop wasting our precious time blaming our circumstances on others & do things that will create change in ourselves & our lives & hopefully the lives & circumstances of others. This is my prayer for all of us & I pray that we all come to our senses sooner rather than later. That we show ourselves & each other just how special & wondrous each & every one of us are without the need to drag someone else down.
Just my 2 cents.
