Occupy Loosing Ground

From Yahoo News:
"New risk for Occupy Wall Street: less media interest"

"Occupy Wall Street" is occupying less space in TV broadcasts, newspapers and social media as the story settles into a familiar pattern and protesters dig in for what could be a protracted fight. While the movement's reliance on Twitter and Facebook to spread its message is well established, it has also benefited from becoming a media curiosity, at times drawing legions of TV crews and reporters to its encampments. Coverage fed on itself, as more people joined in more cities. But experts say the protests are now making a natural -- yet challenging -- progression off the front page and cable news, as new events like the death of Muammar Gaddafi take prominence. Any loss of the limelight, especially when the onset of cold weather has already started to reduce the ranks of protesters prepared to camp out overnight in lower Manhattan, could dampen the momentum of the movement.

^ I knew from the start that this would happen. These people have no real goals other than sitting in a park. Now they are abandoning their spots because of the cold weather - true commitment. I have heard them being interviewed around the country and they all sound the same, but have no clear message. This could have been a good grass-roots campaign but with no real goals it will eventually fade away. ^
