Fox News Calls Would-Be Obama Assassin ?Occupy Shooter?
Fox News Calls Would-Be Obama Assassin "Occupy Shooter" A Day After Authorities Found "No Connection" To Protests
Yesterday, authorities charged Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez with attempting to assassinate President Obama after he allegedly fired an assault riffle at the White House. Never missing an opportunity to politicize such an event, Fox News baselessly tried to tie Ortega-Hernandez to the 99 Percent Movement, running a chyron that dubbed the man the ?Occupy? shooter.? continues here... http://thinkprogress.org/media/2011/...ccupy-shooter/ |
Th real scandal is how most of the media tried to downplay the incident to avoid the obvious ties to the OWS movement and their rhetoric.

Maybe the U.S. Park Police and The Secret Service should not have issued a statements saying he was linked to the Occupy D.C.

Three more stories saying the same thing as Fox News.

Checked every link on http://thinkprogress.org/media/2011/...ccupy-shooter/ and watched every video i could find from Fox and no where on anything from Fox does it say Occupy Shooter.

So what's the point really?
Is it surprising that Fox or other right wing media/MSM tie this guy to OWS? That's not surprising. Is it surprising that the same moronic trolls on this board back the Fox spin even when confronted with evidence to the contrary? That's not surprising. Agenda trumps truth. People will cling to their belief systems because it has little to do with the truth and everything to do with their skewed perception of it. In other words, who really gives a crap. . |

At first glance I assumed you must have been speaking about the massive media reaction and misreporting on the Jared Loughner shooting....... but then I realized you were somehow talking about the media's total non reaction to to the Ortega-Hernandez shooting. |

We were channel surfing yesterday, and I guess we had stopped by one of those "we wish we had Fox's ratings" news spin shows, and they basically said the same thing the OP did, suggesting that Fox said the shooter was with Occupy. Then they showed a clip.
The chick in the clip said the shooter "may have attempted to blend in with the Occupy protesters." Not really the same thing. |

this thread is now more interesting as another example that people can literally not see something, when provided objective proof, right in front of their eyes, if they don't want to believe it. amazing, but not surprising.

I seem to remember msnbc calling the person that shot the legislator in Arizona as being connected to the Tea Party. Where was the outrage? You guys are so silly sometimes. So easily played by both sides.

I've learned never to be surprised at anything that Fox News says or does... but this is pretty damn fucked. |
