This chart from Nate Silver over at Five Thirty Eight/NYT illustrates nicely what I wrote the other day about the widely disparate media treatment afforded to the tea baggers and OWS:
Granted buried in that data you have an entire cable network devoted to flogging and propping up right wing loonies and the conservative agenda, but it's telling nonetheless. Read the blog post that goes with the graphic. The media basically collectively decided that OWS was OMGBORING until the police started pepper spraying people in lower Manhattan for no good reason.
