This is brilliant.
A few thoughts on Occupy Wall Street, I've been watching it and going
down there for a while now but hadn't had a chance to speak on it.
By the way when I say some news media people are "ringers," I don't
necessarily mean that they deliberately obfuscate, or get orders from
some shadowy figure to do so. I think they'll often just have a personal
investment in the system and status quo that's being
critiqued/threatened, so they'll naturally--without any need to
conspire--have their perception skewed by an instinct to protect the
status quo they're invested in. So though it's quite possibly not their
intention to play the ringer, it's the function they wind up serving
nonetheless.
