youthiswasted: I am going to post a series of photos that others have taken of the protesters - these are attractive, photogenic, mediagenic people. And yet almost none of these images have been selected by the mainstream media to represent the protesters. Instead, the media appears to almost be selecting images which are designed to seem “other” and to not create a sense of empathy or identification among the audiences. In other words, if the mainstream media posted more pictures of protesters who resembled our sisters, brothers, children, ourselves then there would be a greater likelihood that we would identify with the protesters, and would likely join then at an #occupy protest. -- source link
