I say this in good faith, and I have a friend at NPR and I don't hate them...

Should we protest at the news stations to make it easy for them to get pictures?

Seriously, would it work?

I have been saying this and I’m really glad to see others coming up with the same idea. News won’t come to us? Then we need to go to the news.

We need to march around their buildings, shout up at their windows, block access to their parking lots with our sheer numbers - make us impossible to ignore.

Isn't fox news in new york? Make their little spectacles outside a nightmare!

It's with doing anyway. They are the worst enablers of this madness.
