Media coverage of the 99% occupying wall street.

"Why isn't the tea party there?" Because most of them have jobs, families, lives, responsibilities, etc.

As I understand it the police got word of it and are keeping them at a distance.

I have been following it and they are mad about the supreme court decision to allow corporations to donate an unlimited amount to political campaigns I guess protesting in washington dc was to hard for them. So this has nohing to do with the corporations pracices or the stock market and more to do with that supreme court decision several months back. They want the election finance campaigns to go to a limit of one dollar per person. So this has nothing to do with the stock market or big business hence the name I guess the day of bline rage at the wrong group of people oh well at least the tea partiers know where to protest at. These liberals need to learn where to throw their anger. No coverage because their movement makes no sense. Its like dayofrage.com or something.

I know that to be the case. I haven't heard anything about this movement except when things got bad and then they only showed the police side of things in the mainstream media. Even now, the only time I hear anything about it is when someone posts something from youtube onto facebook since I don't watch the news or anything. Everyone knows it's not in the media's best interest to cover that kind of material since they are part of the 1% (at least I think so). If this is not correct, forgive me because I don't really know. It is just my opinion. Thanks for bringing this up!

I am shocked it is not getting coverage.....but they really need to be protesting in Washington over this issue. As for the tea party....most of them are busy working on campaigns right now. Or at least I am.

I would wager that the reason the Tea Party is not involved, is likely because there's no point to it. What exactly do you think they are going to accomplish by protesting banks? Not a thing.

So you destroy the financial institutions and then what? Do we go back the old way of transferring funds, financing purchases, protecting your money? That is to have the Lord of the Manor control all wealth and property and you work for him and pay him homage and do his bidding with no rights at all. Or do you want to go back farther to the time when the biggest and most vicious group held power until a bigger one comes along. Is there a need to reform the Banking system, yes, but lets not destroy all the good that banks do for millions of people who make good decisions.

Yeah, they will likely get trampled by the suits eager to begin a rushed day of stock trading. They better be there early, the foreign markets open very early in the morning. (Remembering the final trading scene in "Trading Places.") Frankly, it is just another protest. Kind of ineffective really since most of the trading is done electronically these days. It really seems kind of pointless like screaming at a brick wall or a glass-encased, sound-proof building. SO what was their cause again? Screaming at people dressed in suits whose living is to buy and sell stock? Yeah, somehow I think those guys are quite accustomed to a certain noise level. Protest the companies who do business on Wall Street? Wouldn't it better to go directly to their corporate offices? Oh wait...There are too many of them. Protest company operations? Isn't more effective to just boycott the business? Gets the point across better because you are hurting them directly in the pocketbooks. Protest government regulation or lack of regulation? Isn't that the job of Congress? So what's left? Better working conditions? Better benefits? Isn't that the job of Unions? No wonder the media isn't giving it attention. Frankly, if the protest made sense like it did in Wisconsin even though people disagreed or agreed with it, it would be a story. But this one makes zero sense. Usually, yelling at building doesn't work because buildings don't have ears.
