ABC News ‘Selectively Edits’ Occupy Wall Street Mob To Look Like Victims

“Throughout the country and over the course of the last few years, tea parties held everywhere have been shockingly orderly and without incident. And yet, the MSM’s hostility towards these peaceful assemblies has more often than not been selectively edited in a way to intentionally create a false impression of extremism, racism, and even violence. The most telling example would be this now infamo…us NBC stunt.

Occupy Wall Street, however, actually is everything the MSM falsely accused the tea party of being. There’s been lawlessness, hundreds of arrests, and a ton of astro-turf. And yet as a response, we get this kind of coverage from ABC News that attempts to spin a mob charging a few police officers as just another brave act of civil disobedience where big, scary cops overreact.”

Take a moment to think back over the past few years to the corrupt MSM’s coverage of the tea party movement and compare it to this video which shows an Occupy Wall Street mob menacing a small group of police officers. ABC News is quite obviously attempting to spin this occurrence into something akin to the civil rights movement, where the mob is the victim and the police are the oppressors.

This video isn’t even subtle in its propagandist goals. Open with a big, burly cop wildly swinging a baton at a crowd. Cut to a reasonable-sounding protester describing the horror of it all. Cut back to big, burly cop wildly swinging baton. Cut to yet another reasonable-sounding protester. Inter-cut with populist signs.
No interviews with police.
No other side of the story.
