Yes, it is a sidelink to sidestories on CNN.com. If I went based on what talk news radio and NPR discuss, there would be a lot more topics on the general public's radar. I listen to NPR everyday and when I raise topics to people based on NPR topics, people are almost always like "huh?"

A lot of people are not quite sure what's up with this which is probably one reason why the American media is treating this as a side story. If we downplay this, whatever the heck it is (LOL), these angry people will shut up and go away. (When we think about it, many of the people who fuel the mainstream news media are the same people who fuel the sources of American capitalism, etc.)
Until there's a police fight and people get hurt while Occupying Wall Street. Then the media will make it late breaking news. And that's what some of these news sources did.
