MUST SEE - Occupy Wall Street Outing The Media Shills

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.

David Cameron has slammed Britain's top bosses for awarding themselves a massive 49 per cent pay rise in the last year. Business chiefs at the UK’s top 100 companies can now expect to take home an average £2.7million as households suffer the biggest squeeze on incomes since the 1920s, according to new figures. The massive salaries are 113 times the national average of £24,000 for a worker in the private sector, where salaries have risen just three per cent in the last year.

Reading "media shills" I immediately think of congress, people like Paul Kanjorski in particular. Anyhow, the meme he started about the "electronic run on the banks" and how there was 550B withdrawn from money market funds in the space of an hour or two in the wake of the Lehman collapse, and how if the govt hadn't intervened there would have been 5.5T withdrawn by the end of the day -- well, turns out that whole business is utter crap. We know it was hyped up, but there were only something like 3.5-4.0T in money market funds IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE. The 5.5T figure was just made up to scare people like Paul Kanjorski.
