Occupy in Review

Posted on November 3, 2011

Simple idea, I thought I would fill the hours after “sign off” by running some “occupy” audio from the protests around the country. Two sites offer some choices, including

But audio feeds from the events are few as most of the media effort has gone to video or blogging.
One “General Assembly” program had several hours of speaking by way of the “substitute bullhorn,” where the crowd repeats in unison every few words from the person speaking. From a listening standpoint, this wears thin after awhile. For the dear people investing themselves in the movement it sounds to me like the last days before a mental collapse.

The worst thing I saw was in a local area town where the crowd appeared on fast-edit video doing no more than hooting as if they were at a ball game. They had with them their kids and pets as if this were Occupy Picnic.

The public has reason for being discontent, but they need better media coverage. I can’t be there because I’m back here in the studio supplying air time.

Civilization is getting away from us.
