Depth Needed in News Coverage of Wall Street

We demand more from our mass media outlets than they seem willing or able to provide.

They only low-light breakouts of atypical violence in the peaceful Occupy Wall Street and satellite or derivative protests, without elucidating the underlying causality, or attributing a strawman argument to it and hijacking the narrative.

Much like their right wing talking point of 'It's your fault if you're unemployed' presupposes the major tenet or grievance to be unemployment, they setup a false pretense to attack versus giving an audience to the main point of the protest, which is financial ascendancy in politics and governance, and hegemony of the top fiscal 1% in directing the democracy of our republic.

What do you wish would be covered in the media that you feel is misunderstood about #OWS?
