Yet another confirmation that the OWS patriots are winning the hearts and minds of the American public.

Even the mainstream media can longer deny it.

RESULTS OF THE CBS POLL:

What do you think?

Is the income and wealth gap in America too big?

•    76%
•     Yes -- and Congress should be working to reduce it.
•    
•    12%
•    Maybe -- but the focus should be poverty, not inequality.
•    
•    11%
•    No -- and to suggest otherwise amounts to class warfare.
•    
•    1%
•    don't know/not sure.
•

The good old "silent majority"!

Another thing that MUST CHANGE in America is that we find our voices and TAKE BACK OUR MEDIA.

I began to do that two years ago by getting rid of cable and taking my news on the Internet instead. What a liberation! I got my life back...

American television has become a PROPAGANDA TOOL for the Status Quo and an instrument of COLLECTIVE CRETINIZATION probably unparalleled in world history. I think that's why the 76% have been so subdued while the 11% were so vociferous...

Agreed. I went to basic cable and depend on PBS. People really underestimate the powerful way TV conditions us psychologically.
