If anyone is interested in how Media actually works, you should watch Julian Assange's show "World Tomorrow" episode 6 (it's on youtube).
The President of Ecuador explains that civil reforms are only as possible as the media allows.
With this media, nothing will get done. It is our TV media that people should be protesting against, not Wall Street. If OWS took over the buildings of CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC in NYC, then we might have the chance for real reforms. The television is just lying to people and purposefully hiding very alarming things. It is in the interest of the television media to prop up the worst parts of our society, so they will never be adversarial to it, they will not tell the truth.
