Cnbc reports on ows
Cnbc had a blog post by an occupy wall street protester explaining their goals. Imnon my iPhone so I don't have a link handy
I was critical of OSS in the beginning but I'm starting to change my views as they get better at explaining what they want

2. They were always clear as to why they were there, the MSM pretended

not to know and tried to box them into going back to the old ways of curtailing important issues by demanding they be explained in three or more words after which, if they actually WERE important, they would be dismissed. From the start this was a process, not a protest such as we've had before, allowing the MSM to either ignore or dismiss them.

This time we have the experience of what doesn't work, and now we are in a whole new era and the PEOPLE will call the shots, NOT Corporate America and its propaganda tools. They can try, and they are, but they will eventually be ignored, which is when you think of it, Karma.

RT and Current are doing incredible coverage of this moment in History. Many people never bother any more with the MSM, they have basically made themselves irrelevant. History is happening right now and they are on the wrong side of it. Smart people have made sure to get on the right side.

The problem was that millions of people DID know why they are there, and they were never going to allow the Corporate Media to frame their message for them, as they tried to do.
