I put this together to highlight for those who rarely watch news, how media bias looks on a regular basis. Thousands and even millions of people belong to these groups, and for different reasons, their message is not getting out. Occupy screams extreme demands day after day, yet the press plays dumb and calls it "formulating a message". The Tea party screams for a return to founding principles in the constitution and to stop excessive spending... the media portrays them as a racist radical wing of the Republican party. In either case, the media does not truly report on these groups, but uses them to further their own message.
This is why I believe you should be more informed, and you can't afford to say "I'll sit this one out... not interested in politics".
If you are a free American citizen, its irresponsible to be ruled by others out of laziness.
What do you think?

What is your opinion of the two movements on the left and the right? Who do you associate with more?
