Rolling Stone contributing editor Matt Taibbi appeared on Current TV’s Countdown with Keith Olbermann to discuss the “Occupy Wall Street” protests. “The movement is growing organically,” Taibbi says, “because people know there’s something to protest now.” He adds that Occupy Wall Street could spur reformers and legislators to act because “the public won’t take it anymore.”
There has been little media coverage of this movement to date. Mainstream media has been increasingly captivated by the corporations that pay their bills through ad dollars. Fortunately, anti-establishment, anti-status quo messages now have the internet to help spread their message without prime time coverage.
