Why the Occupy Movement Matters; Looking into the Crystal Ball - Occupy is More than a Movement, It's an Idea

Ever since the winter hit the US the Occupy Movement that many have now claimed dead has been very much alive. Many main stream media outlets refute this claim with questions such as why have their numbers dwindled in the streets, and where is the change that was their clarion call? These questions have some legitimacy, however the main stream media once again has got it wrong. Fox News and other right wing media networks compare the movement to hippies looking for hand outs or spoiled entitled ignorant kids who don't understand how the world works. They have done this to discredit the movement and to detract from people hearing the actual message of Occupy. These same media outlets also have a habit of comparing the Occupy Movement to the Tea Party movement of 2009-2010.
