Media Spin: Occupy Wall Street Did Not Burn Buildings... People Marching With them Did
Pundit Press ^ | 10/15/11 | Aurelius

Posted on 10/15/2011 4:03:31 PM PDT by therightliveswithus

First off, I would like to point out that no Tea Party rally in my recollection ever created violence, resulted in crimes, or culminated in arson, let alone burning buildings and cars. Second, nearly every "Occupy Wall Street" event has had some sort of crime take place during or because of it, many of which happen to be felonies.

And yet, the Main Stream Media is trying its damnedest to explain away the wave of violence that has come out of the Occupy Wall Street protests. Case in point, ABC's exceedingly slanted articled entitled "Rioters Hijack Rome Protests, Police Fire Tear Gas."

Thus, their first paragraph reads like so:

Italian riot police fired tear gas and water cannons Saturday in Rome as violent protesters hijacked a peaceful demonstration against corporate greed, smashing bank windows, torching cars and hurling bottles.

...The major, disgusting problem with ABC's slant is that they never say were these so-called hijackers came from. Instead, their article makes it readily apparent that these thugs were at the event the entire time, marching in solidarity and on the behalf of Occupy Wall Street.

CNN is doing it too. They are reporting that anarchists infiltrated the occupy italy movement.

"Leftists don't burn buildings, 'people' do."

Remember the 60's and "Burn, Baby, Burn" ?

Cheers!

The astounding stupidity of the sheeple in this movement is amazing. Read some candid thoughts from the protesters at occupy arkansas at this thread:

We have nothing to do with the violence within our group we are here to peacefully protest
This is the zero administration spin that works well at all levels. I knew nothing about it until maybe last week, surely you can’t hold me responsible for this, fast and furious comes to mind.
