Nader is on Fox and Friends right now complaining about being shut out of the debate.

I don't know if would like how he would turn this country into a "better democracy" (he just said that was his goal). Here are the major media sources who reported the arrest (from Google News):

AP never filed a report. Looks like a news blackout.

I didn't hear it on NPR, which is my primary nonweb news source.

I saw it - but then I am in Saint Louis. I can't remember wether it was national media or local. They actually screwed it up - it was a staged arrest but they got wild and went around the other side.
