I am Danny Schechter, known as the News Dissector. I am a blogger (NewsDissector.com), Filmmaker (PlundertheCrimeofOurTime.com) and fellow troublemaker.
I am a former producer for CNN and ABC News and even did a stint at CNBC. But these networks are not open to independent perspectives, even from former employees and award-winning professional producers. I had to go to Iran’s Press TV to find interest to make a short documentary about HOW Occupied Wall Street operates on the ground at Zuccotti Park.
Here’s my program that has already been on TV all over the world — but not in my own country. What does that say about our media? Most mainstream media, alas, serves the 1%, not the American people.
We have heard a lot about what they stand for but not how they organized to make this happen. This occupation runs like a village with lots of participation from a diverse group of articulate people.
“Behind the scenes of occupy Wall Street is an organization that is pretty invisible. It is decentralized, it’s bottom up and it’s organized into working committees,” editor of the Mediachannel.org, Danny Schechter says.
In this edition of the show we will take you behind the scenes of Occupy Wall Street to show you how it all works.

TRC features media analysis, social critiques and spiritual refreshments focused on the socio/cultural impacts of a post-9/11, post-carbon, ponzi scheme world teetering on the edge of mass awakening or mutually assured destruction.
In the spirit of mass awakening, the following types of comments will not be approved:
- Comments that criticize any class of people as a whole, especially when based on an attribute they don't have control over
- Comments that explicitly call for violence
- Comments with links to third party sites that are not relevant to the content of the conversation. No spam.
- Because we moderate comments does not mean we do not have a sense of humor. The Royal 'We', you know, the editorial...
- Just...you know...take it easy, man. We're all in this together.
