Dr. Cornel West and Amy Goodman at the Wall Street Protest Site!
Dr. West just called this movement "A U.S. Autumn compared to an Egyptian Spring". Check it out:

1. Major bummer! Their audio seems to be having technical issues...
Hopefully the DN crew has the footage too and will air it tomorrow.
LOVE that Amy and others are there, in person.
When is Michael Moore going?
I think he should be there!

14. Saw clips on DN this morning-
I'm sure his visit was a real moral booster for the people there.
Good on MM.

8. Noam Chomsky also made a statement in support of them.
Matt Taibbi is going there today I believe, to talk to them. He has not written anything about this yet, and says he was asked why the MSM had not covered it and realized, he had not done so either. He admits to not knowing anything about it so considering how much work he has done to expose the corruption on Wall Street, it will be interesting to see what he thinks.

Alec Baldwin has been supporting the movement also. They are attracting attention now with a lot of people helping to get the word out, people like MM, Baldwin, Susan Sarandon eg, so let the media ignore them. In many ways it is better to NOT have the biased media distorting the story as they always do, and as they tried to do when reporting on the police violence this weekend.
