Supposedly liberal Public Radio coverage at last, too.

Nice twist there! Or "spin" if I may be politically correct.
Yahoo IS news media. Even if they are small compared to CNN. You admit to knowing they censor, and you also know they are part of big media. As for the rest of Big Media, They didn't cover it ON PURPOSE. Which is censorship. No one is accusing big media of interfering or suppressing their demonstrations. What Big Media is being called out on is; 1) purposely NOT covering it at the start despite prior knowledge it was going to happen, 2) wrongfully demonizing it in it's first days and still is.
Now big media is trying to do damage control by covering it small bits at a time hoping it'll just go away. They know they've been busted by the people, and they know it's important to the people.
Big Media just doesn't want the people to decide what's important for the people to know.

Rational Irrationality: The Anti-Wall Street Protesters’ Best Friend: Ray Kelly : The New Yorker Police violence interpreted as 'closet support' --? because it made the media notice. What obfuscation.
'If the cops had kept their cool, the occupation, which is meant to last several months, might well have declined over time to a hard core of a few dozen. Now the protesters’ numbers are growing, presenting a dilemma for Kelly and his billionaire boss Mayor Bloomberg. Should they leave the kids alone or present them with another publicity coup by attempting to break up their encampment? Thanks to Deputy Inspector Bologna, the world will be watching what happens.'
Meanwhile an international union joins them. Airline pilots.

It is day13.
"These are the most overeducated crowd of people that I've even seen in my life," said Daniel Levine, a student at Baruch College. "People come out of college and there are no jobs." --MSNBC

Unions are in favor of the protests. USA has much less worker security than other lands.

an international view:
Occupy Wall Street Protest: Why Reckless Bankers Still Owe America
Occupy Wall Street Protest: Why Reckless Bankers Still Owe America - International Business Times
'In the aftermath of the 2008 to 2009 financial crisis, the U.S. public anger against Wall Street was fresh and politicians had to do something.
The financial reform bill they passed accomplished some good; for example, it put more separation between banks and risk proprietary trading operations.
However, reform didn't go nearly far enough.
Today, many Americans from the 99 percent are still hurting from the financial crisis.
Wall Street, meanwhile, is swimming in cash and collecting absurd bonuses because of the government bailouts, the massive carry trade of borrowing from the Fed at zero percent cost and buying longer-term U.S. Treasuries, and the reflation trade partially sparked by the Fed's money printing.'

If you think he is, then provide a link. He's such a public figure that his presence wouldn't go unnoticed for long, would it? :wink:

Michael Moore has been there, also Susan Sarandon and a number of other celebrities. He's been videotaped giving a statement, according to Google news search engine. But I am checking in to share this aerial view.

clandestino. — Government Orders YouTube To Censor Protest...
Some bad news. The revolution will not be on Youtube?
Luckily it was not the US government, but it could happen. BBC may be better than USA for world news, but it's still been cherry-picked.

If you go to the youtube site you'll find dozens of videos about the wall st protests.
BBC is no better than any other news channel. It's just packaged more cleverly and less annoyingly than the main US broadcasters. The World Service is funded by the Foreign Office and starting this year, the U.S. State Department.

i go around zuccoti park (the area they've occupied) on my lunch break the past couple of weeks to read the posters they made as well as listen in on their meetings.
I got a chance to meet Cornel West on thursday. he was there for a little bit and i wanted to get a chance to talk to him but so many of the protesters were trying to get hand shakes and get his input on certain things.

Semper Fi: Marines Coming To Protect Protesters On Wall Street | Addicting Info
quote:
Hope to see you there!!”
quote:
“I’m heading up there tonight in my dress blues. So far, 15 of my fellow marine buddies are meeting me there, also in Uniform. I want to send the following message to Wall St and Congress:I didn’t fight for Wall St. I fought for America. Now it’s Congress’ turn.
My true hope, though, is that we Veterans can act as first line of defense between the police and the protester. If they want to get to some protesters so they can mace them, they will have to get through the Fucking Marine Corps first. Let’s see a cop mace a bunch of decorated war vets.I apologize now for typos and errors.
Typing this on iPhone whilst heading to NYC. We can organize once we’re there. That’s what we do best.If you see someone in uniform, gather together.
A formation will be held tonight at 10PM.
We all took an oath to uphold, protect and defend the constitution of this country.
