Occupy Wall Street is Blowing Up Media

Occupy Wall Street is a leaderless movement/revolution with people of many ethnicities, genders, and political positions. The movement began in the center of New York's Wall Street financial district. The people are mainly protesting about social and economic inequality. The movement has now spread from New York to over 600 communities and 70 major cities in the United States. Over 100,000 people are now protesting across the United States. On October 15, the "Occupy" protests spread to over 900 cities worldwide. This has not only impacted the lives of people around the world but it has now impacted the media. Media has been now focused its coverage on Occupy Wall Street. It has been one of the hottest topics on news stations and even social networks. Some social networks like Facebook and Twitter turned Occupy Wall Street into a trending topic. People are focus on Occupy Wall Street wherever they go. They hear about it in newspapers and the talk around town! The movement has changed the lifestyles of many and is impacting media as a whole. I actually support what the people are doing all across the globe. I support the movement because I believe that it is time for the great businesses and monopolies to pay attention to the people and their needs. Government also needs to pay attention to the people as well. The government shouldn't be backing up these businesses and monopolies. The government has one thing to worry about and that is the well-being of the people. Through these movements, the people are speaking out for what they want and what they deserve!
