NYPD Police Chief's Son Is Fox's On-Air Anti-Occupy Wall Street Activist
The NYPD has an ace in the hole when it comes to spreading anti–Occupy Wall Street propaganda: Local Fox TV station WNYW-​TV news anchor Greg Kelly — son of NYPD Police Chief Ray Kelly. On Wednesday, starting at 7:00 AM, Greg Kelly started his broadcast day by spreading the false story that the Occupy Wall Street protestors were planning on shutting down the New York City subway system.

“On Wednesday morning, as protesters tried unsuccessfully to shut down Wall Street, the anchors for the Fox TV station in New York City said several times that the protesters were also planning to “shut down” the subway system in the city later in the day,” New York Times’ Brian Stelzer reported. “The anchors discussed no evidence of such a plan, however, and some protest organizers have said that no such plan exists, that the goal is to gather at various subway stations and hand out flyers.”


“Asked about the sourcing of the station’s information, a spokeswoman for the Fox station, WNYW-​TV, said, “It’s been reported elsewhere and we addressed it this morning during this interview with York City Deputy Mayor Cas Holloway.” In the interview, Mr. Holloway said the city was “advising New Yorkers to stay informed” about possible subway disruptions.”


But the planned protests were described much more ominously, at times, by the anchors on WNYW.

2. One Big Club
The police chief should himself be in jail, and hopefully soon will be.

6. Understand this: FOX is scared shitless but don't know it yet


They know their ratings numbers are dwindling, TV and Radio wise, as more and more people realize that they can circumvent the propaganda by searching on the Internet. The truth wins this war.

So they are going for FULL-On propaganda now, in the hopes that people are as stupid as the small number of remaining Teabaggers have proven to be. Naturally they are now fellating the son of the NYPD Chief! What a stupid move!

FOX radio advertising has been a schizophrenic mess lately.

"Progressives must DIE! Chop off Nancy Pelosi's HEAD!" was the tone of one recent marketing effort, for a talk host who shall go unnamed. They were going for the "This'll piss em off and get attention!" angle, but no one is listening!!!!Nobody gives a fuck about what that diseased prick is spewing!!!!

So last night, they're going for the "We're Just Regular Guys here" angle, and we really care about your rights!!!!!!

It's so pathetic. Only a handful of tools watch or listen and believe this criminal journalistic enterprise; the rest of us merely laugh at how desperate the deluded sociopaths at FOX have become.


And this is just the tip of the OWS iceberg, kids. :P
