CNN actually reported on this today...

"Over the weekend, 19 more people were arrested in Washington, D.C., by Supreme Court police, while over 90 were taken into police custody in New York."

However, it was conspicuously obscure, and didn't mention Dr. West, who they did a previous personal interview with.

Methinks the corporate media is afraid that the Tea Baggers might synpathasize with the movement.
