Not the liberal media generally, but the Guardian specifically. If you only read their articles, you'd think this was a mass movement with the support of a majority of Americans that will topple the banks and the US government. This is a typical example:

When the history is finally written, though, it's likely all of this tumult – beginning with the Arab Spring – will be remembered as the opening salvo in a wave of negotiations over the dissolution of the American Empire. Thirty years of relentless prioritising of propaganda over substance, and snuffing out anything that might look like a political basis for opposition, might make the prospects for the young protesters look bleak; and it's clear that the rich are determined to seize as large a share of the spoils as remain, tossing a whole generation of young people to the wolves in order to do so. But history is not on their side.


They published earlier similar nonsense from Amy Goodman, and also a heavily biased news post. The New York Times and Huffington Post were much more on target here, and that says a lot coming from me.
