Not only did MSNBC mischaracterize the nature of this morning’s protest at the Port of Oakland,
but the website than swapped the original article for an updated (pre-prepared?) version of the
article that ran this morning at the same URL.
Luckily, I had the old article open in a window from last night. (I’ll get some screen grabs and try to grab the HTML too.)
Update: 2:40 pm – My browser crashed when I was trying to get the HTML from the cached page to work. Luckily, I had already taken some screen grabs, which I have uploaded here (1-4).
From Direct Action To Stop The War website:
ARREST This is not a civil disobedience action; although we are taking direct action our goal is to maintain the picket line not to get arrested.
Here’s what was at the below URL Sunday, April 6 around 8-9 pm:
