The Media

[freshwest]

1. Thanks, this has been true for centuries. Every method or organization that should be good for the

Masses to get together, to unite, to make a difference in their lives, has been co-opted by the powerful.

The refusal of the media to cover the tenets of Occupy and other movements, instead focusing on the shiny or the dog whistles, is destroying our world. If these media machines went away, what?

They would simply go back to bullhorns to make the people listen to their lies. We are in the middle of something that knows we do not own it,the internet, yet we strive to guide it.

Some days I think of copying the Declaration of the Occupation of NYC from last year and posting it in the stores, leaving it lying around places. Just to get the word out to those not on the net. But it's hard to find a vendor who will allow it.

We're reduced to what Occupy is doing, passing the word from one person to another in person. As long as we can do that and meet here, we'll do it.

Thanks for the graphic. Kudos to all the actions.
