The five men arrested for planning to blow up a bridge in Ohio turn out to all be active Occupy Wall Street activists.

Why am I not surprised? The five men arrested for planning to blow up a bridge in Ohio turn out to all be active Occupy Wall Street activists.

As despicable as this act of violence might have been, it is just as despicable for major news organizations to fail to mention the important fact that they are Occupiers.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    Not just active with OWS but at least one of them has a leadership role with OWS. Something to do with PR, iirc, which make the cries of them not representing OWS kind of funny.

    Talking about selective media reporting, this is a transcript of another version of the G. Zimmerman case ( I assume no relation) where another reporter was fired, symbolically Im sure.

    This is an example of pure fact creation forget about omission.

    The manipulation appears in the version marked “doctored version” after the words “drugs or something” in that sentence.

    In a story for the “Today” show on March 20, Luciano used part of the George Zimmerman 911 call in which an entire phrase was taken from a later part of the conversation:

    The doctored version:

    Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good or on drugs or something. He’s got his hand in his waistband. And he’s a black male.
    Dispatcher: Are you following him?
    Zimmerman: Yeah.
    Dispatcher: Okay, we don’t need you to do that.

    But here’s how the call really went:

    Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.
    Dispatcher: OK, and this guy — is he white, black, or Hispanic?
    Zimmerman: He looks black.

    It sure helps if you have crooked press and/or politicians in your pocket.
