That's happening all over the country, New York is just the most notable.
Not aimed at anyone in particular, just the general mistrust of the media. I meant Why would the media agree with Occupy, who want some form of justice brought to the corporations that essentially GIVE media employees their jobs? Whether they are funded by advertisements, a newspaper, news network, somehow corporations fund THEM. What benefits would come from accurately and fairly depicting Occupy protesters if they pose even a slight threat to their own well-being? They'd actually have to start WORKING, and reporting REAL news... they aren't used to that kind of journalism.
Unfortunately, people are led to believe that they only have two choices, Conservative or Liberal, even though both support larger government, both support wars, both restrict personal rights and support corporate greed. We can't "oust" Congress without educating voters about third-party alternatives, even though third parties could lead to some coalition-building, COMPROMISE, and actually representing constituents. /RantRantRant
