19. Wondering about this, LG. It's a featured video. Who's funding this?

Occupy w/ Russell Simmons, Citizens United & HIV Wrestler (The Point)



This seems to be commericalized, and in order to be a featured video I believe they have to pay youtube for designating it that way so it ends up on the top of the links on the righthand side of pages.

BP and the Mormons are often in those slots, so I don't watch featured videos, and they aren't exactly Occupy support. I used the search function to see if there were simliar videos of Russell Simmons involved with Occupy and there were.

Just wanting to know if the funding you mention is paying for these videos. If this is a good thing or bad thing, and should I link to those videos. Although this one seems to cover a lot more issues than just Occupy. I didn't even know that TYT was being featured, they always seemed to be low-budget.

Peace Out, Occupy. Love you all.
