Anyone watching the HBO series Vice, follows Real Time?

I am really liking it, and the web site.
The most recent show was about the unrest and demonstrations in Spain, something we do not hear much about in the US.
The crowds are HUGE.
check out vice.com if you get a chance..they have some older shows online.

Ohhh..let me add....this is very interesting:
the Youth Without a Future group in Spain started the Spain Occupy group, which in turn inspired Occupy Wall St. here.

I haven't seen it, but I've seen Maher promoting it and I wasn't sure.

Plus, they are pretty neutral, and so cover a lot of issues from ..the "inside" as it were.
I find it intense, educational, dramatic, and very engrossing.
Makes MSM look terribly lame.

I have been watching.

I find it interesting and informative.

Some of the people who organized the Spain Occupy movements came to New York to help organize the Occupy Wall Street movement.

I watched them live streaming for days from Zuccotti Park.

They did an excellent job !

If the majority of Americans would have backed OWS, I think we could have had real change in this country.
