After seeing some of the reports on other #Occupy movements, I wasn't sure how the media would cover our protest in Amarillo. Things tend to lean quite far to the right here, and it's easy to be concerned that the coverage would lean that way.
I was pleasantly surprised, however, that that was not the case. The AGN wrote probably the best piece, and the other news outlets were fair (with the exception of a blip by one TV news media source that was quickly and professionally cleared up). They didn't attack or support us, they did, quite simply, what they're paid to do and reported the news.
I would like to publicly thank channels 4, 7, and 10 and the Amarillo Globe News for reporting fairly and accurately on the protest. They get run through the wringer often enough, and deserve cedit when it is rightly due.
