Fox News can’t wait to paint Occupy as terrorists

The recent failed attempt by radical occupiers to blow an insignificant Ohio bridge to smithereens has sent Fox News, the granddaddy of all liars, into an ideological frenzy.

The headline says it all: Failed plot to blow up Ohio bridge highlights potential 'Occupy' link to violence.” According to this, we’re supposed to start thinking about the potential violence that Occupiers have pent up, and ignore the violence that Fox News has helped to commit for many, many, unforgettable years.

History, Fox News, won’t forget what you did.

Such as the time Fox News, and its affiliates, supported the war in Iraq, which went on to claim the lives of at least a million Iraqi civilians, and over 5,000 American troops.

Or the time they supported the war on drugs, which has now taken 50,000 lives in Mexico.

Or the calls for a more conservative America, as if it’s not conservative enough — liberal economics, deniers of global warming despite ample evidence of its existence, stupidity, stupidity, stupidity.

Or the systemic violence they commit by contributing to the complacency of Americas. This is the easiest to spot, because it accounts for nearly 99 percent of their airtime; which, incidentally, is the same percentage of people in America that Fox News doesn’t seem to give a shit about.

“Authorities have long been concerned about the group's potential to inspire violence,” the report by Fox News says. Authorities should have been long concerned about the wars that had the potential for unlimited violence inspired by media puppets that condone it.

“The case makes an internal Department of Homeland Security report released by WikiLeaks in October seem prophetic. The report, entitled "Special Coverage: Occupy Wall Street," warned that the movement's mantra of peaceful protest would not preclude acts of violence taken up in its name.”

Times in history are littered with points where violence seems to be the only means for which something can get done. The 1960s in America are a prime example, because it happened here, and many people were killed, injured and sent to prison.

The “bombers” had “rigged phony explosives bought from an undercover FBI agent at the base of the bridge and tried to detonate them using a text-message code, “ Fox News said. It was just another FBI attempt at discrediting another amazing potential: social change for the better.

While it’s not good to condone or support violence, it’s also not good to trash an entire movement based on a few fringe radicals. It shows that Fox News is at it again: the granddaddy of all liars.
