RT var enda media som rapporterade regelbundet om OCCUPY under 2011-2012...

On September 17th, 2011, RT's crews arrived at New York City's financial district to film a protest that was labeled as the US version of the Arab Spring. At first sight, there was little to set this small but passionate group of demonstrators apart.
No other TV networks bothered to send cameras, and print coverage was scant. Within weeks, this seemingly insignificant event would change the course of US history. Occupy Wall Street had launched.
RT's Senior Producer and correspondent Lucy Kafanov had overseen the Occupy Wall Street coverage, and had spent months reporting on the ground in New York City and Oakland on camera and via Twitter.
"The police brutality had really taken me off guard. There was little distinction between protester and journalist. Press credentials meant nothing during these rallies," Kafanov said.
"We were dealing with an aggressive police force willing to use force and not exactly eager for press attention, as well as protesters who in some cases, like Oakland, were really quite hostile to the media.
But the story had to be told and we put everything on the line to get it out there. This was history unfolding before our eyes."

The Partnership for Civil Justice
Fund has obtained documents that prove OWS protesters encamped in Terry
Schrunk Plaza in Portland, Oregon, were evicted for political and
business reasons - not for the reasons the city stated, which were
health and safety concerns. The documents also shed light on police
activity in Boston and across the nation in terms of the OWS movement in
general. The Resident (aka Lori Harfenist) talks about the issue. 
RT's Senior Producer and correspondent Lucy Kafanov had overseen the Occupy Wall Street coverage, and had spent months reporting on the ground in New York City and Oakland on camera and via Twitter.
She was struck by police batons while covering the protests in New York, and tear gassed while attempting to film the major clashes in Oakland.
For her, the obstacles to getting the story were what made it all the more important.
