Politics and movements in todays generations

As i was watching the daily show and colbert report i noticed there were alot of people who were not involoved in current politics , and especially the ongoing movements.  I dont know if it's just a general un-interest in this or if its simply the area im from but it saddens me quite a bit that no one in my facebook friends are currently invloved or trying to be invloved on the movement in this country , for instance the occupy wall st. movement , not only was it blacked out from the popular media but people will not talk about it enough , i think its very important and its not going to go away , if i could be there i would , what mostly saddens me is this new generation should Very political and very involved in movements but its not , i think most of the media would like them to stay complacent and worry only about the newest product than worry about whats going on in their country.  In a way i see the 60's reviving itself again and moving on corporations instead of government but sadly government and corporations go hand in hand,  i want people to stand up for what they believe in and not expect others to do it for them , and bring back what it is to be truly American.

The news channels.

I recently thought , how sad it is that the most accurate news i get is from a comedy channel , the daily show and the colbert report , they both explain politics in a perfect way and a truthful way , it seems the news channels have their own agenda on politics and want you to view that way too , well that isn't all , the occupy wall street campaign was in a media blackout for weeks , because the corporations that own the news channels didn't want you to know of the movement , and its still pretty one sided now that they do talk of it.
