Parts of this infographic seem tongue in cheek, but it still goes to show how hard the media are trying to fit OWS in their preexisting political narratives. Protesters are placed on a "scale of liberalism," while the critique of capitalism is boiled down to "capitalism isn't fundamentally evil" versus "capitalism... [is] inherently immoral." Someone should alert Noam Chomsky that he is now the apotheosis of liberalism.
