Media Criticism 101:
Sun-Times headline: “Occupy Wall street slightly more popular than Wall Street.”
Article content: A poll showed OWS was 32% popular and Wall Street 16%.
In other words, headline: “Occupy Wall street TWICE AS popular as Wall Street.”
Media Criticism 102:
Wall Street Journal headline: “Credit Unions Poach Customers.”
“Poach”? This is the kind of arrogance of Wall Street against which OWS is demonstrating. When the banks’ own practices result in customers fleeing to credit unions, the banks blame the credit unions. They instead need to take a look in the mirror.
