March 3, 2012

For people who watch TV news or read newspapers, the Occupy movement might seem to be in hibernation.

Most of the encampments are gone, and diminished numbers take part in protests.

But there's a lot of ferment behind the scenes — at least at Occupy Wall Street.

Check the Occupy Wall Street website and you'll see at least 15 events every day: meetings by working groups on arts and culture, alternative banking, media, security.

3. Evolution is good

Just when the RW noise machine has finished gearing up for the sort of protest we've seen thus far, the occupy movement is switching tactics, keeping their counteroffensive perpetually off-balance.

4. Everything's always receding for NPR.

When they union busted NPR they started retraining their employees to adopt the exact same disaffected, world-weary tone of voice in all broadcasts nationwide that market studies said appealed the most to the 1% donor demographic. No joke, some of them complained about it.
