The Wall Street protests in NYC have been getting bigger and bigger, resulting in hundreds of arrests, and are now moving to other cities. Yet The news seems to be having trouble explaining what the protest is all about. All I’ve been seeing on my TeeVee are clips of idiots walking around pretending to be zombies, and inarticualte trippy people saying nothing and engaging in performance art. It’s almost as if the news media wants people to think these protests are stupid… And of course, it allows them to engage in their favorite activity: punching hippies.

Comapare this to the coverage of the Tea Party when they first started. Fox News actually sponsored many of the Tea Party events and flogged them endlessly on TV pretending that were the spontanious outpouring of views from “The People,” when in fact, they were astroturf, bought and paid for by plutocrats/corporations/those-who-actually-own-America. And, what the Tea Party politicians are proposing would result in the rich getting richer and the middle class getting poorer – just a coincidence, I’m sure…

Here’s a cell-phone capture of a Fox News interview with an “Occupy Wall Street” protestor.  The interview never aired because the person being interviewed actually had something to say. And that just doesn’t fit the mold.
