They've Burned The Constitution... Why Not The Flag ???

17. Why do you think that all they see are the relatively few incidents such as the one all over DU

today? Why eg, are some DUers helping the corporate media to 'see' something that was a minor incident compared to the many outrages that took place that day?

You are aware I'm sure, that after first ignoring this movement (which was a blessing) the MSM finally got instructions to 'cover' it. We have seen the memos offering to 'smear' the movement from rightwing think tanks, for a considerable sum of money.

The Corporate media seeks out incidents like this no matter how good the message is. So we really cannot be concerned too much about them. OWS occupiers in different locations now have their own media, print and livestream. The only reason the Corporate Media has not succeeded in blurring the message, is because there are now so many other places to get actual real and accurate coverage of the movement. RT, Current, on TV, and several Indy channels have done a magnificent job of delivering news about this movement covering its excellent message delivery.

But here on DU we should not be seeing this flood of what can only be described as mimicing the Corporate Media, focusing on one minor incident that occurred on a day when the Occupiers were out all day long, doing exactly as you advise. We have no control over the money spent to try to find ONE thing for the Corporate Media to cover, there will always be one, or they will create them.

I fail to see though, why on a democratic board so many appear to be working as hard as possible to make sure that one, minor incident gets as much coverage as possible. Can you explain it?
