Obviously you know something they don't if you can say they are "not getting it right" or are not "reporting it fairly." Personally, I don't think it is their job to "help it." Not sure why you think that is the job of the media.

Seriously?
Could you point out the last time fox, cnn, msnbc, ect did any actual reporting? Where the reporter actually investigates what's happening and produces an indepth report on it, without a slant?
Where is the report that covers of the real reasons behind the protest? Like breaking down the criminal activities, fraud, corruption, and influence some of these groups/people/corps, etc have over our financial systems, gov, politicians, states, etc. It's not like it's a secret, it's not like it doesn't happen... but why don't we have reports on it?
Why's it always drum circles, hippies, and college kids that are broke, unemployed, and lacking a core message thus have no message? When Google Images disproves this instantly.
Where are the reports showing the police crossing the legal line, and why do we have to wait to "see" the truth on the Internet rather than from them?
I didn't say it was the job of the media to help. I did say "or do anything to actually help it" - meaning, if they actually covered the truth, did some real reporting, you would have millions of more people protesting..... but, that's not what they do, at all.
Thus we have people like those in this thread that think it's a joke, basically because daddy media hasn't told them otherwise.
Media fair my ass, honest, hell no, trustworthy, not for a second... anyone that actually listens/takes in what the mainstream media says in this Country, instantly makes them 100% uninformed of anything actually happening. I don't care who is reporting, fox to pbs... start looking up what they say, it wont take long to realize how much bullshit they spew.
Are you okay with the media hiding the truth from you?
