What's Behind the Scorn for the Wall Street Protests?

It's unsurprising that establishment media outlets have been condescending, dismissive and scornful of the ongoing protests on Wall Street. Any entity that declares itself an adversary of prevailing institutional power is going to be viewed with hostility by establishment-serving institutions and their loyalists.

Onward to Wall Street | Truthout

A blonde with a marked likeness to Joni Mitchell and a seemingly even stronger wish to burrow through the space-time continuum and hunker down in 1968, Ms. Tikka had taken off all but her cotton underwear and was dancing on the north side of Zuccotti Park, facing Liberty Street, just west of Broadway.

Wall Street protests get a boost of star power, Susan Sarandon shows up at demonstration

A week-old Wall St. protest got a little star power Tuesday in the form of activist actress Susan Sarandon."I'm just here to be educated," the "Bull Durham" star said as some of the young demonstrators in the crowd asked each other, "Who is she?"Sarandon, 64, stopped by the Occupy Wall Street encampment in Zuccotti Park on her way to catch a flight to Italy.The protesters peppered her with questions about climate change, consumerism and the economy.

How Anonymous emerged to Occupy Wall Street

Mocked at first by some, Occupy Wall Street is showing the potential of online 'hacktivism' allied with street protest Defying harsh critiques from Stephen Colbert and slews of bloggers who scoffed last week at the "leaderless", "directionless", Frisbee-throwing hipsters camping out on cardboard at a random New York City park in the financial district, Occupy Wall Street appears to be gaining ground.

Occupy Wall Street rediscovers the radical imagination

Why are people occupying Wall Street? Why has the occupation - despite the latest police crackdown - sent out sparks across America, within days, inspiring hundreds of people to send pizzas, money, equipment and, now, to start their own movements called OccupyChicago, OccupyFlorida, in OccupyDenver or OccupyLA? There are obvious reasons.

La protesta Occupy Wall Street (ocupa Wall Street) que arrancó hace una semana en el corazón financiero de Nueva York sufrió el sábado una bofetada violenta con el arresto de 96 personas. Cada noche desde el 17 de septiembre, entre 200 y 300 indignados han dormido en el parque Zuccotti, rebautizado como plaza de la Libertad, en protesta contra la situación económica y política que vive Estados Unidos.

Occupy Wall Street: the protesters speak

Casey O'Neill had no regrets. He had travelled thousands of miles across the country - and gave up a well-paying job as a data manager in California - to sleep rough in a downtown Manhattan public square, enduring rain and increasingly chilly nights. Police keep a close eye on him every day.

Bottom Line - Wall Street protest enters fourth day

A protest called "Occupy Wall Street" entered its fourth day Tuesday as a loosely organized group of activists converged on lower Manhattan and clashed with police. The protest began Saturday when several thousand people gathered in front of the New York Stock Exchange holding signs saying "We must end corporate tyranny and corruption" and "Debt is slavery."

Evening calming down when police approached 2 dismantle our movie projector screen. Song: "We shall overcome...." #takewallstreet

Amy Goodman: 99 Percenters Occupy Wall Street - Truthdig

If 2,000 tea party activists descended on Wall Street, you would probably have an equal number of reporters there covering them. Yet 2,000 people did occupy Wall Street on Saturday. They weren't carrying the banner of the tea party, the Gadsden flag with its coiled snake and the threat "Don't Tread on Me."

Wall Street Protest Continues: The Disruptors - TheStreet

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The Occupy Wall Street protest in lower Manhattan entered a fourth day on Tuesday, and the afternoon scene in Liberty Plaza off Broadway was fairly calm with a crowd of roughly 150 people milling about and the New York Police Department well represented.

Let's just say we wouldn't complain if this somehow happened: http://bit.ly/nBZIPT #OccupyWallStreet #sep17 #antibanks

Occupy Wall Street: Protesters Violently Arrested in New York

Eye-witnesses are claiming police brutality accompanied three arrests in New York City's Zuccotti Park. NYPD sought to tear down tents and stop livestream. Watched in real time by an international audience, New York's police officers moved in on Zuccotti Park. It was 7.20am, on September 20th 2011, and a light rain was falling over the 200-300 people camping out there.

The #NYPD says our tarps are a violation of 'Sanitation Code'. #youcantmakethisstuffup

— OccupyWallStNYC · Tue, Sep 20 2011 18:08:18

It's probably worthwhile for the people at #occupywallstreet to photograph and video the police. Specifically those doing the surveillance.

— ioerror · Tue, Sep 20 2011 17:34:33

Perhaps this will be helpful for the #occupywallstreet protesters: http://venturebeat.com/2010/07/02/facial-recognition-camouflage/

— ioerror · Tue, Sep 20 2011 17:30:24

The reason that the police want protesters to stop wearing a mask is so they can identify them. Once ID is established, the real fun starts.

Big media's shameful news brownout on the Wall Street protests | Philly | 09/20/2011

What do you think was running in the pro-government, pro-Mubarek newspapers in Egypt back in February, when crowds of unhappy and often un- or under-employed citizens began crowding into Tahrir Square? I don't know the answer to that, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say there probably wasn't a lot of coverage of what was happening in Tahrir Square, at least at first.

Eight arrested as third day of Wall Street 'Rage' protests clogs New York City sidewalks

Last updated at 3:01 AM on 20th September 2011 Protesters complaining about the power of the financial industry staged noisy demonstrations that slowed pedestrian traffic on Wall Street for a third day on Monday, vowing to continue 'for as long as it takes' to achieve vague demands.

Organizational teams have formed & our goals are quickly becoming less vague & coming together in solidarity. #OCCUPYWALLSTREET

A Web-Fomented Protest On Wall Street Is Louder Online Than Off | Fast Company

Even by participants’ own estimates, the ongoing OccupyWallStreet demonstration in New York City hasn’t been very big--between 500 and 700 protestors near the famous bronze bull statue at its peak on Saturday afternoon attended, and perhaps 200 slept over in a park near Ground Zero on Saturday and Sunday nights.
