Only a few weeks ago mainstream media outlets were proclaiming that the public loved the Occupy movement and agreed with its contentions that the top 1% were oppressing the rest of us. Lately you haven’t seen such stories very often—because the underlying meme has become utterly unconvincing. But don’t take my word for it: look at this SurveyUSA poll of San Francisco Bay area residents (hat tip, hotair.com). They say they have switched from supporting the Occupy movement by a 57%-34% margin to opposing it by a 57%-35% margin. What do you think are the chances that the New York Times will ever cover this?
