You know, the danger with dealing with CBS is their history of appealing to rural, conservative viewers. That said, Sunday Morning has always been more quietly subversive than most of the rest of the network. Here, they shine a light on the Occupy Wall Street folks than is more honest and insightful than anything you'd see on the rest of the media.
Kudos.
Other info from Paul Krugman and Nic Kristof on the movement no one seems to be in charge of yet.
Though, I love that Van Jones - removed from government to appease the right wing - is trying to corral the disparate voices.

Personally, I think the whole thing is kind of silly. But I certainly wish them well. I mean, no one is going to prison over this. No one is currently losing a dime on this. I hope calls for investigations comes. I hope boycotts of those who squandered our tax dollars come up. I hope that billboards of the guys who complained about having to live on "only" half a million a year when we bailed out their failed companies are put up around the country.
None of this might happen. But why the hell not?
