Slate:
Suddenly, the issues of equity, fairness, justice, income distribution, and accountability for the economic cataclysm–issues all but ignored for a generation—are front and center. We have moved beyond the one-dimensional conversation about how much and where to cut the deficit. Questions more central to the social fabric of our nation have returned to the heart of the political debate. By forcing this new discussion, OWS has made most of the other participants in our politics—who either didn’t want to have this conversation or weren’t able to make it happen—look pretty small.
Really, the press is becoming an SnL skit:
There was no Tea Party, yeah that's the ticket.
And they never raised these concerns, yeah .... yeeah.
The Tea Party never set these thoughts in motion.
There is only Occupy, yeah that's the ticket...
