MSNBC Shows Uncensored Bare-Breasted Women at Occupy Wall Street

At the top of the 10 a.m. Eastern hour on MSNBC on Thursday, MSNBC aired uncensored taped footage of two topless women at the Occupy Wall Street protest in lower Manhattan. Fill-in anchor Richard Lui made no mention of the explicit images as he talked to correspondent Mara Schiavocampo about the protest. (h/t TVNewser)

Back in July, NBC's Today did an entire segment on why Americans are obsessed with breasts. Images of breasts were then shown a total of 54 times on the highest rated morning news broadcast.

OK, I’ll start what is sure to be a pun-filled thread.

Thanks NB for exposing the bare facts of this story! (Does that count double?)

Submitted by Newsbubba on Thu, 11/17/2011 - 5:34pm.

... but thanks for keeping us abreast of things.  It is really uplifting to see nature at its finest.  Unfortunately these two babes ain't it!

I was just praying that the two women weren't Maddow (technically she's still a woman, I think) and Bahar.  That could have turned me to the bottle forever.

At least those two in the picture don't have what most liberal women have between their breasts; their navel.

I really have to nip this in the bud before the conversation begins to sag.

Later, Boobie.

It’s too late for me… but at least it’s an uplifting story!

I have an unfair advantage, Grump.

Submitted by Newsbubba on Thu, 11/17/2011 - 5:56pm.

I live in a town that happens to worship the breast in life.  We have an entire 10 day celebration dedicated to them, and that's not even counting Spring Break!

I have become something of an expert in "perky." Unfortunately, I have seen way to many spirits drooping, too.

But it's kind of like fishing.  Everything you see at the end of the line can't be great, but every now and then, WOW!

It's the law

Submitted by seeker25801 on Thu, 11/17/2011 - 5:40pm.

It's legal in NY for women to go topless, just as it is for men. Also, I can't really tell from this picture, but it could be that they are transgender, which means that they would actually be biologically male; therefore making it perfectly acceptable for them to be shirtless, regardless of the law.

Don't be too shocked, when you realize they're just 'female-bodied' it becomes less enticing. Besides, we should all be used to seeing boobs on MSNBC by now.

NBC: 1, Sanity: 0

And NBC has achieved their goal of getting people to discuss topless women, instead of discussing the OWS violence that happened today.

For goodness sake… see the humor - will ya….

Submitted by Grumpy in Arizona on Thu, 11/17/2011 - 10:44pm.

We have been exposed to many stories of the OWS for the last weeks, so when are you folk’s s going to give it a break and start to see not only the tragedy of the protestor’s, inane demands – but the humor in the story???

Look…. These protestors are idiots… there is no use in taking them as serious students of ‘social mores’ [as defined by Emile Durkheim (April 15, 1858 – November 15, 1917)] so what is the point???

I’m not suggesting that there have been NO serious incidents of lawlessness… but am suggesting that we not submit ourselves to a knee-jerk reaction to every single incident that place in these protests.

Again… the protestors and their supporters are just a bunch of “want-a-bees” … so let’s mock them whenever we can!

Ladies and Gentlemen: Please stop worrying about these ne’er-do-well’s - focus on the real problem,,, the destruction of America under the Obama administration.!!!!

- Grump :o)

P.s.: Those girls appear to have a lot to get off their chest… too bad it’s almost Winter in NY… better it be Summer in Miami!!! (or where I’m at),

And naked floppy breasts have exactly what to do with "Exposing & Combating Liberal Media Bias"? Bad B-roll is bad B-roll. It's not ideological. It's just lousy editing.

If breasts are naked, then---

Submitted by matthewdean on Thu, 11/17/2011 - 8:11pm.

they are being exposed.

If they are floppy they are combating the use of a bra.

If they are attached to a liberal female, chances are they, too, are liberal.  Some are much more liberal than others, however.

If they are shown on any of the lettered 'news' affiliates, then rest assured, media bias is in evidence.

Next question.

That's a whole lot of 'ifs' and one chances. I've been around for a while and I do believe I've seen some "non-liberal" breasts flopping about. So what's your point?

what's your beef?

Are you not aware of the reason behind the existence of NewsBusters?

Are you additionally unable to recognize spoofing when you see it?

Seeing as how you are always cracking wise, you might want to consider lightening up with the sour-assed attitude.
