| Kasz216 said: You must not have been looking at the right places then Richard. I saw a lot of aknowledgement of various stuff Occupy Wallstreet was saying. The problem was, they didn't understand the underlying causes for why things were occuring. It wasn't "Wallstreet Excess" For example... why is the Middle class shrinking? It's because Middle class jobs often happen to be semiskilled labor jobs. Which also happen to be the jobs that are being rendered obsolete by robotics. Finding a middleground with OWS would of been largely like finding a middle ground with the Flat Earth Society on Cosmology. It was more of a case of being angry about something you don't understand and throwing your complaints at the first target they saw. |
I am not saying some sites, like Reason.com, ended up addressing the issues. But the bulk of the Newscorp (Murdock) Fox News stuff was yelling, "Class Warfare" and not paying any credance to it. Idea is to demonize to make is so there is no reason to listen to anything there:

Do you need me to go into more here? Could you even show where any of them trumpet any aspect of Tea Party (they say Tea Party is enemy of Occupy) that speaks towards issues with Wall Street?
Show me where issues with Wall Street corrupting EVER popped up with Fox News, or even to tip a nod by the major players on the Newscorp side that Occupy has a point. Nope, it was just demonizing and "get a job loser". When you don't even actively acknowledge a point, you don't get sympathy.
