    That clip of the wall street tycoons drinking champagne and laughing at the protesters.

      They weren’t Wall Street tycoons. They were just people attending a wedding.

      Why does this misinformation keep spreading?

        Because, even though that specific photo wasn't about rich people laughing at the protests, you damn well know they all did just that. We just don't have pictures.

          I get the symbolism. But calling something that it isn’t is just flat out disingenuous.
