Ah, except that it is conservatives in the role of good guy and the Old Media can’t have that, now can they?
The Greater Boston Food Bank intended to hold a fundraising event in Boston’s Dewey Square over the weekend of the 14th of October. It was to be called the “Greenway Mobile Food Fest” and designed to fundraise for those in need, but due to the tantrums being thrown by the Occupy Boston protestors the event had to be canceled. Despite the selfishness of these pointless, clueless protesters, though, conservative bloggers stepped in and raised over $3,000 for the food bank. So where is the media on this story? Isn’t this a perfect sort of human-interest story that media types usually love?
The media should love this. It’s got clueless, uninformed, cretins hurting an organization that helps feed the needy. It has a more caring group rising to the challenge to help replace those lost donations. Perfect story, right? As of midnight October 15, this is the only coverage of the Greater Boston Food Bank and Occupy Boston. Only four stories (one web, two print, one local broadcast) on how the protest impeded the charity’s ability to help those in need, the same individuals for whom Occupy Boston claims to stand.
