Corporate Media Corrupted Exposed. Ignoring Occupy Wall Street Protests, Media Loses All Credibility
Remember this tea party “rally” the corporate media was oh so happy to cover?




WE KNOW WHO YOU WORK FOR YOU ASSHOLES!

Right in the thick of things, the live-streaming ended just before the mass arrests and some disturbing instances of outright police brutality (documented and later distributed via cellphone photos). But, I should note, not before the world had already witnessed some of those protestor/cop encounters. It was shocking, actually, to watch people pushed with real force or slammed to the ground when, to my eye, they hadn’t provoked anything remotely requiring that kind of police-state response.

I had been one of the hundreds, then thousands, to witness the march from nearly beginning to end – and that was not how I’d expected things to turn out. But, almost on cue (as if to underscore the government’s fear this would spread), things escalated quickly and publicly in the glaring view of the Twitterverse, very likely to the chagrin of the NYPD, Michael Bloomberg and anyone on Wall Street who didn’t want this little movement to earn attention or gain credibility.

Within a matter of minutes, thousands of people were logging into the live-streaming site or retweeting the police presence. Yet, the media still weren’t covering the event.

1. The Media (R) is on bended knee for corporate Overlords (R)
...and no longer serves the people of the USA in any way other than to distract and to gin up the fear.

Cut the cable.
Save money.
Starve the beast (R, Inc.)
Free your mind of propaganda.

2. They are pissing in their pants right now

Riding the ragged edge between letting people know and taking the risk people will see for certain they are superfluous in our democratic republic.

If more people know, more will join the protest, goes their fear. They are so afraid of real Americans they'll take the risk of looking like liars and pawns.

5. sounds like a good idea
we need to start making them uncomfortable being the fascists they are.

None of this would have been possible without the lying corrupt media, not the 2000 stolen election, not the coverup of 9/11 or the killing of millions of innocent people in Iraq...(I could go on)

It is ALL THEIR FAULT. WE should be hating on them BIG TIME!!!

6. There is only one perfect solution.
Those who are behind the organized Wall street takeover need to be as continually prominent as the teapartiers.

7. continually prominent as the teapartiers? Is this a joke?
I agree with this person
The Tea Party is a Non Existent Media Creation, Fraud and Joke on the American People
