Last week, we recognized the Occupy Wall Street protesters, who camped out in the financial district of New York City to demonstrate against the corporate greed they say has taken over America. Our runner-up was MSNBC political analyst Lawrence O’Donnell, one of the only people in the mainstream media to report on the Occupy Wall Street protests last week.

The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide. When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
