CNN Business reporter-Alison Kosik-summarizes what she thinks the purpose of Occupy Wall Street is:
A CNN Business reporter, Alison Kosik, summarizes what she thinks the purpose of Occupy Wall Street is.

Here is her Twitter post.



UPDATE: Kosik deleted her tweet. That’s the kind of confidence she had in her observation, I guess.

1. Kosik (R) had to delete - she (R) knew her blatant lie would be exposed
Republicon propaganda princess know they have to keep their loyalties occult (R). Occultism & truth obscuration is mandatory for Republicon stooges.

4. She didn't delete it.

It's still there. As of right now "10 hours ago"

She knows more about the economy that most of those malcontents combined.

5. and those 'malcontents' at OWS know more about the ecomony...
than the well-funded, well-publicized, well-promoted 'tea partiers' ever will...

laugh now...small sparks can make great fires...

btw: ever been gassed because you were committing 'civil disobedience' (not vandalism, destruction, etc.) for anything you stood up for?

...silent people never get sprayed...

7. You could be right.
The tea parties looked to be made up largely of older people complaining about government meddling in their lives, while they were waiting for their SS checks and making appointments to see doctors that Medicare would pay for.

They just liked to complain and make noise.

Same with OWS, but throw in some bad acoustic guitar playing and clouds of pot smoke. Alison Kosik has it about right.

9. B.S. Kosick is just parroting a Republicon hippie-punch propaganda shitball
Edited on Wed Oct-05-11 06:40 AM by SpiralHawk
The Republicons have a deliberate skeasy skanky strategery to try and tar every American standing up for her or his rights as 'hippies.'

This is right out of the playbook of Grover 'Luvs-me-them-terrorist-moneybucks' Norquist (R).

Kosik's tweetering reeks of standard RepubliCorp, Inc. 'talking points.'

They (R) just like to make shit up to slime Americans standing up for their Constitutional rights.

8. That tweet expresses what she would be doing if she were there.
That is not what the actual protestors are doing.

19. Actually, she was partly right...
The real purpose:
Bang on the bongos, smoke weed, get laid, get a pony, and CHANGE THE WORLD.

21. What an embarrassment.
I'm sure CNN loves her, though. She's doing what they pay her to do.

24. Why would anyone expect a corporate whore to be honest
about the news and events that shape our lives? CNN is a corporate whorenews organization that pimps drugs and boners more then telling of the actual events. Real news happens, CNN decides on what the readers and watchers are supposed to think. That is not news, that is the opinion of a political organization dead set against The People. The M$M really has hurt this country in the last decades in ways we are just now feeling.

Time for not only a change on Wall Street, but a change in supposed News Organizations. Maybe a little oversight is in order.

25. And another point: aren't journalists supposed to at least pretend to be objective publicly?
Shouldn't tweets like this result in some kind of disciplinary action?

30. She's correct
We want to get rid of Wall Street tyranny so we can bang the bongos and smoke weed in peace. So why not bang the bongos and smoke weed also while getting rid of Wall St. tyranny? :)

Especially when banging the bongos and smoking weed irritates the likes of her so much that they don't like to go to work on Wall Street and when they do, they feel irritated and miserable and do even more lousy job (of hurting we the people) than usually. :)
