NY Post’s new, crazy OWS smear

Despite utter lack of evidence, Murdoch's paper claims demonstrators vandalized the new 9/11 memorial



Quick update on the New York Post’s total war on Occupy Wall Street: The Murdoch tabloid is now claiming that Occupy Wall Street demonstrators defaced the new 9/11 memorial, despite absolutely no evidence that anything of the sort happened.

Here’s how the story, which was written by Philip Messing and Bob Fredericks and ran under the headline “NYPD sends elite detectives to Wall St. protests,” begins:

The NYPD has moved three elite Manhattan homicide detectives and a deputy chief to the raucous Occupy Wall Street protest in response to a rash of sex attacks, thefts and vandalism — including graffiti scrawled on the nearby 9/11 Memorial, The Post has learned.

The 9/11 memorial is just a few blocks from Zuccotti Park, the heart of the Occupy Wall Street, and this latest outrage is certainly in keeping with the Post’s description of the park as “a sliver of madness, rife with sex attacks, robberies and vigilante justice.”

1. Murdoch and his minions are truly despicable. n/t

2. Knowing how Murdoch operates (thanks to UK investigations), he probably hired the vandals.
