Liberal media is constantly making accusations that the main stream media is refusing to give the protestors any airtime. MSNBC is showing protestors standing outside chanting, Keith Olbermann is showing the protestors and interviewing those whom have gone out to see the protestors, and... Well, that's pretty much it. No one else is giving these protestors any real exposure and this has left most of us wondering why the main stream media is refusing to show the reality that is on Wall Street right now.
Occupy Wall Street is a great political action and showmanship oh civil disobedience that we can all be proud of. Nineteen days ago these students, union members, teachers, police officers, parents, unemployed, employed, educated, and hard working people stood outside and started saying we are tired of looking in.
When this movement started, no one and I mean no one was giving this any attention. Then the police stood up with cans of mace and helped these protestors get some media attention. I'm not saying I agree with this mal-conduct but I do appreciate these idiot police men for helping occupy Wall Street gain media attention and getting more citizens out to participate in this long overdue act of protest. Sometimes it takes one person to make a true mistake, so that everyone else can see it as something greater than what it is. If the police always did everything right, then no one would have noticed there was something wrong.
Society has been silent for too long. We have all suffered way too much injustice in the last 30 years. I say 30 years because that’s how long it has been since we have stood up and made a stand against this colossal act of inequality that is disturbing so many people in America. Wall Street has taken so much from us, and sadly we have nothing to give them as it was. We are all literally broke. We cannot afford to buy a house and we cannot even afford to stay in the current house we live in as it is. We cannot afford to go to college, because the prices keep rising. We can’t afford our bills, because we don’t even have jobs and no one wants to help us.
