30. And that's because the lying, misinforming, greed protecting media

Keeps America in the dark. It's a terrible thing. Only Maddow and Hayes on MSNBC talk about it sometimes. Maddow tells us nobody knows who she is, indirectly the other day. WTF? Way to play strong for the team? We know the liberal media is a joke, the US was always for the 1%! Wake up America! OWS is a powerful movement for us to end this Gilded Age we live in and some like Olbermann and RT, Thom Hartmann, Amy Goodman, and Cenk Uygur can understand why it is important to cover it. You need brains, we all have brains, but sadly most Americans are either too dumb, to misinformed, or too busy. I don't wish to give any comfort to the 1%, so go OWS!
