It's a very old game.
The annals of Three Kingdom period in China describe it. That's around the year 200 Gregorian calendar. And it was old then.
And he managed to miss the obvious fact that these protests are staged political events.

I’m that “reporter”.
I’m a Republican, a conservative leaning libertarian. I oppose everything written on their placards. The point of the reporting wasn’t to debate their politics, but to report on what I saw. What I found was much evidence that didn’t fit the preconceived narratives. Whether you agree with them or not, they’ve changed the landscape. I tried to communicate what has changed, but not take sides.
With that said, I did criticize them a lot. For example, I pointed out they were intellectually vacuous. Somebody believing in the “science” of Global Warming can cite Al Gore’s propaganda, but not the actual science. (I don’t believe in Global Warming, but I’m an expert on the science, and am frustrated I can’t debate leftists scientifically because none of them know the science).
With that as a background, skeeter, I give you the same [citation needed] challenge. You disagree with me, such as claiming “these protests are staged political events”. I challenge you to cite evidence supporting your claims. Actually, I agree with you on some respects, I visited the OccupyAtlanta version and it was staged nonsense, but the question is whether the original OccupyWallStreet that I reported on is “staged”.
