Occupied. 10/11/2011

Twitter 10/11/2011

This is what CBS/WBZ was tweeting today. Mindless, non-news worthy, tweets the day after over 100 arrests, beatings, lies, and violence on non violent protesters by the government in Boston Massachusetts and in cities across The United States.

The following is my response and an exchange with CBS Boston and with the reporter they assigned to cover Occupy Boston, a self proclaimed afficianado of food, drink,sports,and apparently at one time a struggling musician with a myspace page and 7 friends. http://www.myspace.com/stevesaleeba

Upon revisiting this conversation it becomes abundantly clear just how arrogant and condescending The Steve Dujor and CBSboston are in regards to the thoughts and concerns of citizens. He continually takes jabs at me and attempts to weasel out of them. All of this was happening while he was supposedly covering Occupy Boston. After a while I realized the "i know you are but what am I" mentality of the man, so I wrapped it up and went about my business. It is below. You do need to speak twitter to understand it. If you do not speak twitter, you need to learn. That is where the news is. It is from people like you and me. People that are there seeking the truth and passing it along. It is not coming from spoon-fed ignorant well-paid hypocrites that do the bidding of the machine.

Or maybe I'm really off base here and they are right. You be the judge. I welcome any and all comments and opinions.

PS. There will be grammatical errors, because grammar just isn't that important.

BryanMcPherson Bryan McPherson
@cbsboston your not even WBZ your CBS. Furthermore this only proves once again how out of touch the mainstream "media" is with reality

cbsboston WBZ Boston News
@BryanMcPherson you obviously aren't from around here. WBZ is CBS. & - we have plenty of "news" on our website. feel free to visit.

BryanMcPherson Bryan McPherson
@cbsboston born and raised on the streets of Boston. Do your homework, news.

TheSteveDuJour steve saleeba ("REPORTER")
@BryanMcPherson dude. "your not even WBZ your CBS" - grammatically incorrect. factually untrue. get a life.

BryanMcPherson Bryan McPherson
@cbsboston you simply say what they tell you to say. Your a propaganda machine of lies and your time is up. The revolution will be tweeted.

BryanMcPherson Bryan McPherson
@TheSteveDuJour wbz is run by CBS. It has long since not been local news. Get hip

LauramomBoston Laura
@cbsboston @bryanmcpherson that just made me laugh. Nothing is obvious @cbsboston. @BryanMcPherson is most certainly from HERE! Report news!

@cbsboston @BryanMcPherson do it off the air, people used to appreciate real news, now everyone wants to be TMZ and spread gossip and bull.

TheSteveDuJour steve saleeba
@BryanMcPherson guess that makes me a puppet then. CBS must tell me what to write. Surprised they let me cover #occupy - #conspiracyidiots

TheSteveDuJour steve saleeba
@LauramomBoston his poor grammar and incorrect assertion about WBZ made me assume otherwise. my bad.

BryanMcPherson Bryan McPherson
@TheSteveDuJour you said it. Cover man. Cover!!

TheSteveDuJour steve saleeba
@BryanMcPherson we ARE. We welcomed back our co-worker via twitter. How is that a sin?

BryanMcPherson Bryan McPherson

BryanMcPherson Bryan McPherson
One other thing. FUCK GRAMMAR!!!!

NickGoldMA Nick Gold
@BryanMcPherson Fucking A right!

TheSteveDuJour steve saleeba
Free publicity alert: I'll be @BryanMcPherson 's Dec 15 show booing & complaining about his music. #ifnewspeopletoldpeoplehowtodotheirjobs

BryanMcPherson Bryan McPherson
@TheSteveDuJour I'd like to see that I'll put you on the list!

BryanMcPherson Bryan McPherson
@TheSteveDuJour it's an insult to every American without a job and sitting in a cell for a nonviolent occupation and exercising their right.

TheSteveDuJour steve saleeba
@BryanMcPherson not going to happen. For 1, I respect the fact that musicians are real ppl who work hard & take pride in all that they do.

BryanMcPherson Bryan McPherson
@TheSteveDuJour whatever that means.

BryanMcPherson Bryan McPherson
@TheSteveDuJour then why did you say you were going steve? Lies once again.

TheSteveDuJour steve saleeba
@BryanMcPherson the hashtag says #IF - again, you're skewing the facts. you'd make a great propagandist

NickGoldMA Nick Gold
@BryanMcPherson Holy shit this is entertaining. Be sure to send a flyer to them for the show!

BryanMcPherson Bryan McPherson
@TheSteveDuJour tell me steve, what are you guys having for lunch today? The people need to know. Looking forward to more from @cbsboston

LiamTat7 Will Tattan
How many people at @cbsboston actually were born and raised here like @BryanMcPherson? And by here I mean within city limits?

TheSteveDuJour steve saleeba
@BryanMcPherson that's funny. See - I have a sense of humor. You obviously don't. Good luck with that.

BryanMcPherson Bryan McPherson
@TheSteveDuJour tell the news not jokes Steve

BryanMcPherson Bryan McPherson
@TheSteveDuJour my argument is with @cbsboston

BryanMcPherson Bryan McPherson
Ask a puppet if he knows he's a puppet

TheSteveDuJour steve saleeba
@BryanMcPherson regardless, your argument is flawed. CBSBoston consists of News, Sports, Entertainment, Events, ETC. not just News.

BryanMcPherson Bryan McPherson
@TheSteveDuJour it consists of a lot of bullshit if you ask me and A LOT of other people. When people want truth, they don't tune to "news"

TheSteveDuJour steve saleeba
@BryanMcPherson that's fine. When I want to listen to music that suits my taste, I don't listen to you (no offense).

BryanMcPherson Bryan McPherson
@TheSteveDuJour thanks. That's a ringing endorsement ;) your on the list for the 15th. Join us!

TheSteveDuJour steve saleeba
@BryanMcPherson I guess the difference is, I don't feel the need to attack your lyrics as "lies" just b/c I don't care for them.

BryanMcPherson Bryan McPherson
@TheSteveDuJour that's the difference between you and me. Oh and I'm not lying. That too

TheSteveDuJour steve saleeba
@BryanMcPherson you're right. I take it back. Not "lying" - just uninformed in your opinions.

BryanMcPherson Bryan McPherson
@TheSteveDuJour I'll end here. "the revolution will not be televised" google it. Your on the list for the 15th @Occupy_Boston
