The recent fawning media coverage of the “Occupy Wall Street” movement provides a stark contrast to their dishonest and shameful coverage of the “Tea Party” movement.  Though it seems the Occupy movement is guilty of all the false accusations the Left and Media hurled at the Tea Party; racist, anti-Semite, astro-turfing, hate-filled, uneducated, anti-American rubes, the media has suddenly chosen to ignore such shortcomings in favor of championing the Occupy Wall Street cause.   

Not only did the media falsely accuse the Tea Party of such behavior, they went out of their way to mock them and assign vulgar designations, such as “Tea Baggers”, to Tea Party participants .  CNN reporter Susan Roesgen dismissed the Tea Party movement as anti-CNN, anti-government and Fox sponsored.   The media even went as far to accuse the Tea Party of “incivility” in the wake of Jared Loughner’s Tuscon shootings and shamelessly implied Tea Party rhetoric motivated Jared Loughner’s heinous act.  AsThe Planet Buzz previously reported, the height of incivility emanates from the inflamed hate-filled rhetoric of the Left. 

From the moment the Occupy movement emerged, the media embraced them with blind vigor.  Where the grassroots Tea Party movement was falsely accused of being “astroturfed” (funded by political operatives), the Occupy Wall Street movement is truly astroturfed, funded with millions of dollars by George Soros’s organizations like MoveOn.org, Tides Center, Common Cause Education Fund and Open Society Foundations, despite denials by Soros and media organizations like Reuters.  The Occupy Movement has additionally been provided with the manpower and material support of Organized Labor and militant community activist groups, like Community Voices Heard. 

Shamefully, after repeated denials by the left, it has been uncovered that many of the protesters have been paid to protest by these organizations.  Despite Occupy protesters’ stated hatred of such crony capitalism, they have also found their “home” in Zucotti Park,  a park owned by Brookfield Asset Management (BAM).  Obama’s Department of Energy just happened to approve a loan guarantee in the amount of $168.9 million benefitting BAM’s Granite Reliable Wind Farm project less than a week after the protesters began residing in the company’s Zucotti Park.   

Though evidence of media accusations of a “racist and uneducated Tea Party” never materialized,  media correspondents that have been uncovering evidence of a racist, fanatical, cultish and uneducated Occupy lot  are beng criticized and rebuffed.   Although widespread racism and anti-Semitism exists in the Occupy movement, the media and Democrats ignore and even excuse the behavior  

The media’s depiction of a Tea Party that spewed violent and un-American rhetoric was a false narrative that has found a home in the Occupy movement.  The Occupy movement has gone beyond violent and hateful un-American rhetoric  to actual violence, causing the arrest of scores of protesters, something never seen with the Tea Party movement.  The self-proclaimed “environmentally conscious” Occupiers leave piles of trash wherever they go and have been known to defecate on public streets and police cars.    Not only did the Tea Party never leave a mess behind, but they coordinated clean up of others’ messes, such as that left by the socialists who protested in Minneapolis: a fact ignored by the media. 

The double standard in the media’s treatment of the Tea Party versus the Occupy Wall Street movement has been blatant and chilling.  The despicable treatment by the media of a true grass roots Tea Party movement that merely seeks to preserve our American values and its founding principles and restore our nation to fiscal responsibility while coddling and praising an Occupy Wall Street astroturf movement funded largely by Socialists that aims to destroy the fabric of America, thrusts us into an alternative universe where we are to believe good is bad and bad is good, a continuous theme embraced by the media and the Democrat Party of today.
