The New York Post and New York Daily News are hardly less alarmist about the Wall Street protests than Andrew Breitbart. And they are definitely no more honest. I’ve rarely seen such a stark example of the power of the press to distort reality. And the thing is that the New York Post and the Daily News are really blue-collar newspapers. People buy them to read the sports section and then maybe some of the more salacious scandals of the day. So, the construction and transportation workers are getting a steady diet of coverage about 99 percenters fornicating in public, seeking treatment for STD’s, and doing drugs.
Of course, Breitbart is claiming some deaf man was raped. And his media empire is now worth $4 million while I struggle to pay the bills. Any questions?
