The funny thing is that the FTC will quickly disregard this complaint, then FOX can run with, 'Fair and Balanced, as approved by the FTC'

I hope they have the testicular fortitude to do it...

No, since most of the "employees" who are responsible for the propaganda are probably working for one of them or, at least, support them.

It's tough to win by playing fair, which we continue to do by telling the truth, when the supposedly referee is also playing on the opponent's team. Then they complain about a fair and balanced report of the truth. They don't dispute the facts they just complain about the vehicle in which the facts are disseminated.

Pretty much everyone I know, INCLUDING ME, is getting out of town for that week.

That last week of August is usually the emptiest week of the year here anyway.

As for street-level businesses protecting themselves, after a few years of (literally) annually scheduled riots (the PR parade), folks here are pretty used to this, hard as that may seem to believe. And the police - especially under Bloomberg - have gotten very very good at controlling crowds. Given what NYPD pays for overtime, they never have trouble getting enough cops out.

So, given the baseline level of weirdness and random hassle NYers are used to, this is not wildly outside our bounds.

I am here on 46th and 6th, took a while to get home yesterday, bomb scare in Hoboken, normally my trip takes 2 hours to get home took 3.5. Nothing is going to stop me from providing for my family. Do all these protestors have jobs?
do they realize they are literally damaging the economy by not going to work and producing? F em all, get in my way, you may get a pen in the neck !
