All the issues you just mentioned have not been addressed because of the one single overarching issue that this movement has used as its central theme, Corporate money taking over our government. To separate Wall Street Money, Corporate money, from our Government really has to be the most goal in order to restore our democratic process.

No decent legislation will ever pass to protect the environment so long as Corporate money is flowing into Congress to block any such legislation. The same is true of every other issue, Campaign Finance Reform, the Wars, Healthcare etc. The very first goal has to be to stop the purchase of our government by Wall Street. How to do that is something everyone needs to think about. I have a few ideas and hope that with all the intelligent minds involved in this movement, they will find a way.

Re the topic of the OP, see my post below about how the movement IS addressing the Corporate Media problem. Or if you can get RT on your cable lineup or online, they have been covering this story from the beginning and their coverage has been absolutely excellent. Today they did a segment on what the Occupiers have begun to do about the Media, starting with publishing their own newspaper which has been a huge success so far. I am hoping to do an OP on that as many people seem to be unaware of it. Thanks again for your very insightful post.
