“I don't think I'm an angry person. I think I'm a person who's angry. I'm angry at the Bush administration; I'm angry at the right wing media. And by that I don't mean the media is right wing. I mean, there is a part of the media that's not the mainstream media. That's Fox, that is 'The Wall Street Journal' editorial page.” ThinkingMeanPersonsStreetsMediaWallPagesAngryWingsAdministrationMainstreamJournalFoxesRight WingEditorialsMainstream MediaWall Street JournalAngry Person Author:Al Franken

“I think so much of our society is geared towards mainstream media and pop culture and so forth. And there's a huge divide between the artist and the fan. And with indie culture that wall is removed. You actually do see the musicians walking around enjoying the show.

“The behavior of the Occupy Wall Street protesters has raised some curious questions about the continuing double standards in our society.

“We're not ignored by The Guinness Book Of Records, but we've been largely ignored by the media during our lifetime. If you read any article, no mention is ever made of Pink Floyd. We're never included in the same sentences as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who. I wrote 'The Wall' as an attack on stadium rock - and there's Pink Floyd making money out of it by playing it in stadiums! Pathetic.

“Part of the problem with Occupy Wall Street was that folks were never really clear on what they were fighting for. If you don't know what you're fighting for, how do you know when you've got victory? In some ways, new media makes it easier for people to connect. It's hard, though, because we're much more seduced by the Internet, by big-screen TVs, by cell phones that can do everything.” PeopleIfsKnowsWayHardProblemBigsFightingCan DoClearStreetsMediaTvsWallInternetVictoryEasierFolksPhonesScreensCellsDo You KnowCell PhoneBig ScreenNew MediaOccupy Wall Street Author:Stanley Nelson Jr.
“I hear all the time that 'unemployment is greatly reduced, but the people aren't feeling it.' When the media, talking heads, the White House and Wall Street start reporting the truth - the percent of Americans in good jobs; jobs that are full time and real - then we will quit wondering why Americans aren't 'feeling' something that doesn't remotely reflect the reality in their lives.
