This is immensely important.
This is what a Press victory looks like. These guys stood their ground, knew how to defend themselves, and gave coherent and compelling arguments. If anyone watches this or even looks at the comments, their skepticism will be second-guessed:

News2Share's YouTube channel's (though small) video is overwhelming support for the protestors and disdain for the "reporters:"

I think the 25th can be a huge success with livestreams and speakers that are informed and charismatic. We need to make sure the right people are speaking to any serious press, and we need to make sure the event has unedited coverage. We have bright people on our side, and we need to showcase that. People that can really speak on the topic. Further, anyone planning on speaking should really rewatch all of the past press interactions and know how to respond to predictable questions.
Place more ideas and suggestions in the comments, and lets make sure our organizers are prepared to defend themselves.

I wasnt supporting the protests before because I thought it was a shill scheme, but now I really am supporting it. I saw the people in the videos, and ive spoken to some on twitter. They are genuinely concerned people, and I hope they can do their best on the 25th.

I totally agree. I wish this post was flagged or something, so the 25th protestors think about preparation and go in with confidence. Really think the 18th was a good test run and example.

Yeah im glad that the 18th even though it had a small turn out the group was confident so it was okay. I really hope we get at least a few hundreds on the 25th. Im almost considering going, but its 3 hours away so idk.
