(62,325 posts)OWS was very happy about that. Hoping it would go away while their trucks were all over Zuccotti Park, they were obviously under orders not to cover it. OWS however, had its own media and still does. These are different times, we do not need the MSM which hardly anyone respects anymore.
But when they realized it was not going away, what OWS feared and had prepared for, they used Fox and people like Erin Burnett were sent to Zuccotti Park to find a way to discredit it. It didn't matter, Social Media is where to find OWS and they made a mockery of Fox and Burnett and their obvious agenda. And the movement only grew. And is still growing and will benefit from a lack of coverage by the Corporate Media.
The attempt to crush the movement with an army of militarized robo cops demonstrated what a threat to the Corporate State such a movement is. The near killing of several peaceful protesters only guaranteed it will not be going away any time soon.
This is a global movement, still in its infancy but fluid and adjustable as most Social Justice Movements have had to be.
If you're looking to the MSM to know what OWS is doing, you will not get much information there. They have resorted once again to trying to ignore it as their foray into an attempt to discredit failed so spectacularly. This is fine with OWS because as I said, they have their own media.
