It is well known that the media in the United States, has just been sucked into the giant conglomerate corporations and for all intents and purposes "have an agenda to push." Now they serve both sides of the coin (conservative and liberal) so finding some decent coverage about the OccupyWallSt movement.
By and large, the mainstream media has done nothing to further the movement in educating the people as to what is actually happening in the government, and why people are out there in the first place. I have seen time and time again, the reporters finding the youngest looking, the most "crazy" looking, and the most "unintelligent" looking people of the lot to get a sound byte from them.
However, it seems that this article in POLITICO has managed to give OccupyDC the decent coverage the satellite movement deserves and actually does well to educate the readers as to why people are out there in the first place.
As part of the government course, it is supposed that we are learning about how government functions. Finding out why people are out there in the first place, will make you seriously rethink how things are actually run.
