"Occupy Wall Street protesters are charging through the streets of Lower Manhattan and streaming into Foley Square by the hundreds..."

"... to hold a rally with union leaders. Some of our reporters on the street estimate the crowd has swelled to well over 1,000. Protesters are expected to convene on city bridges around 6p.m."

Well over 1,000, eh? The Wisconsin protests at their height topped 100,000. And these folks are in New York City. Madison, Wisconsin has less than 3% of the population of NYC, yet we had 100 times as many protesters. And OWS has 1,000 times the press coverage. How do you figure that? I guess it's like the reason why I covered the Wisconsin protests: They were right down the street.
