Enough already!
There's about 425,000 people in Oakland. 50-100 'Occupy Oakland' "protesters", (really not part of the actual movement), and just black-hooded anarchists looking for trouble around OPD, and the coverage is just overloaded. More media than "protesters."
And yes, a KTVU news van gets vandalized and of course, we get extra team coverage. Boys and girls, can you ever, ever use some basic news judgement? A gathering of folks doesn't warrant team coverage. I know its a slow news period, which means the onslaught of drought stories, but this and the Mavericks waves installment is so tiring and repeated.

And it won't help. X can't pull one third of Idols audience, has decent ratings but for all the money they've spent promoting it a failure.
