Breaking News: Big Media
Caught Red-Handed?
The New York Times: Time-honored Bastion of real Journalism? Or Bought-and-Paid-For Liars? You be the judge.

Brooklyn, NY -- I bet you're wondering why I'm formatting this particular entry of the #OccupyDigest differently than all the previous ones. Well, you're probably not wondering, actually, but I'm going to tell you anyway. I'm formatting it like a newspaper, because, quite frankly, it has become clear to me that the traditional sources of publication, the Big Media Outlets like the New York Times, are no longer worthy of the damned format that they have used for centuries.
The Revolution is still going strong - American Autumn, 2011"What's that, Raspy? Explain yourself!", you might be saying. All right, I will. As if the damning picture at the top of this Digest entry has not adequately said it for me. You see, I want to explain it, and I will do so with a story, a personal anecdote of how my day went yesterday (October 1st...I'm writing this on the morning of October 2nd). Bear with me. I'm kinda long-winded. But even though I've not slept since yesterday morning, and I'm really, really tired, this story...this unmitigated OUTRAGE of a story must be told, so I'm going to tell it.
You see, I've been following the events of the #OccupyWallStreet Movement and other similar #Occupy Movements across the country for a little over 2 weeks now. 16 days, to be precise, and I've noticed something. The news changes. Sometimes, articles that I set aside to revisit later when I am ready to type up my #OccupyDigest come up mysteriously missing from search results. I always wondered about that. Now, I do not any longer have to wonder. The New York Times has given me a glimpse, probably quite inadvertantly, of the reason for this.
