I'm completely sympathetic to some of their grievances but these people need to stop behaving like jackasses.

You're talking about the NY Post, yes?

FlashHarry: i love how the far right is trying to paint OWS as a bunch of dirty hippies.

it's the Murdoch propaganda mill. Now watch as Fox news repeats it and uses the NYPost as a source.

Angry Drunk Bureaucrat: liverleef: I'm completely sympathetic to some of their grievances but these people need to stop behaving like jackasses.

all anonymous sources too. how convenient.

Yeah, well.

This reminds me of that Tea Party protest where I got gonorrhea from riding a Hoveround in my bathing suit.

Yellow journalism? In MY New York Post?

Could somebody remind me again why presenting obviously made up garbage as factual news is legal?

Murdoch paper treating OWS like Woodstock '69 hippies?

That's unpossible!

keylock71: Heh... I see the NY Post is using the same "anonymous sources" bullshiat Fox news likes to use when "reporting" on the OWS protests.

These clowns are either too stupid to realize they've cried wolf one too many times, or the morons that fall for this confirmation bias bullshiat don't care... Probably a combination of both.

You do know what the NY Post is, don't you? No? It's a stupid tabloid owned by Rupert Murdock. It's never been any more reliable than The National Enquirer.

"Occupy Wall Street protesters are flocking to nearby health clinics for STD and HIV testing after getting their freak on in '60s-style hookups with crusty strangers, sources told The Post yesterday."

Yeah, okay, New York Post.

simsite9: Not a single named source in the article, aside from a doctor they called in Chicago who would have no frame of reference for anything that The Post claims had happened.

I can't say that none of this stuff happened, but I'd be more inclined to buy it if it wasn't spewed from the toothless maw of a Murdoch rag.


If they tell you the names, then those people will know that their phone has been hacked by Murdoch's people.

So the ny post is just NRO/American Stinker level now... how embarrassing

If it is billed as news and you have to pay money for it could you sue them for false advertising or a 'bait and switch'? Would it be any different from buying a medication and instead getting a sugar pill?

FTA:
Volunteers at the medical tent hand out cash, usually $15 or $20, so the randy radicals can visit clinics that cater to a low-income clientele, the source said.

You don't have 15 bucks to go get yourself tested for the clap after banging the chick with matted hair, big hairy pits and bush, and wearing a Phish necklace, who hasn't showered in 2 weeks, because you spent the last month in a park protesting people who actualy work for a living? I'd so "go fark youself, hippy" but you'd probably just give yourself another VD.

It's called a job. Look in to it sometime. Your friends may know it as "that thing you do inbetween getting wasted so you can buy more weed"

PYROY: They have time to go to the health clinic but the employment agency is too far away.

You are hurting my head.

Well, that's just typical. Just because someone has ACHIEVED their dream in life, there's always someone who just wants to tear him down. You know, if you spent more time working on yourself and less time tearing down others due to your class envy you would be a happier person. Just because someone can get wasted all day and you can't is no need for this obvious jealousy.

This is the same shiat assholes pulled because it was more profitable to industry to stay in Vietnam, regardless of the human cost.

Humans are an infinitely renewable resource. It takes some time to bring them up to speed and fit them in the machine, but the delay is minimal in the grand scheme of things and their numbers guarantee there is always another to take the place of the broken bits.

/whats my score?

gilgigamesh: You really want to make lying illegal?

When you're presenting it as news, yes.

Why are there lower legal standards for accuracy in news than for fast food advertisements?

Headso: So the ny post is just NRO/American Stinker level now... how embarrassing

Now? I can't think of a time when they weren't considered a slimy tabloid.

If not for lies, spin and propaganda, how else would Republicans keep getting elected?

Willful ignorance?

FlashHarry: i love how the far right is trying to paint OWS as a bunch of dirty hippies.

Trying? All we are doing is sitting back and watching. OWS is doing it to themselves in broad strokes.

I_C_Weener: If McDonald's can call the McRib a pork product covered in barbecue sauce, I can certainly call these OWSers crabs infested hippies.

Ugh. Is it Ribwich time where you are as well?

gilgigamesh: Everyone knows the meat is from an animal which no longer exists never existed outside McDonald's labs located in the Nevada desert.
