Corporate media pundits charge 'nobody knows what they want' in Occupy movement

Corporate media pundits charge ‘nobody knows what they want’ in Occupy movement

Mainstream media pundits have charged that the protesters of the Occupy movement don’t know what they’re protesting against. On the contrary, anyone who attends an Occupy protest can see a multitude of messages represented, often condemning the disproportionate influence of finance capital on our political systems, corporate greed, environmental degradation, human rights violations (often for private profits) or income inequality.

We live in an era where news media investigation stops short of reading protest placards. To our post-literate news, journalism means pointing out that protesters have “signs” but refusing to read them.

In this video, the typical media spin of Canadian pundit and 1 per center Kevin O’Leary is contrasted with the reality he refuses to observe.
