Bozell Demands Networks Report Rampant Anti-Semitism at 'Occupy Wall Street'
After capturing on camera an Occupy Wall Street protestor lashing out with an anti-Semitic tirade, NewsBusters's parent organization the Media Research Center (MRC) is sending certified overnight letters to the presidents of ABC News, CBS News, CNN and NBC News demanding that their networks report racism demonstrated at the protests.
Given the networks were obsessed with alleged racist smears by Tea Party members – even though uncorroborated and without a "scintilla of video or audio evidence" – MRC President Brent Bozell says the MRC's new video should be more than enough to qualify as news.
"The Jews commit more white collar crime than any other ethnic group on the earth, and they go unprosecuted because they can buy their way out of it," and "Whenever there's a billion dollar fraud, there's a Jew involved" are just two of the racist smears clearly shouted by the Occupy Wall Street protestor.
The networks will be guilty not only of a double standard if they refuse to report this offense, but also of intentional covering up an act of anti-Semitism according to Bozell.
In each letter, he cites specific examples of each network's news coverage of accusations made against Tea Party members. But in all four letters, Bozell remarks:
“Now we have Occupy Wall Street and real, documented evidence of anti-Semitic slurs coming from an OWS participant. You cannot maintain you didn’t know it, the video is here: http://mrctv.org/videos/occupy-wall-street-protester-rants-against-Jews”
“…If you choose not to report this you are deliberately covering up an act of anti-Semitism.”

will never report on anything to any extent in an honest way which will undermine or subvert their narrative. If they printed all the retractions necessary even over the last 20 years it would take a long, long time.Journalistic malpractice is their modus operandi.
It's like nailing jello to the wall.

It doesn't count because Bozell is part of that vast right wing conpiracy!

They will be far too busy reporting the police brutality taking place during evictions.
It's a noble cause, Brent, but...

You might as well demand that they cover all the liberal lefties calling for the death of conservatives. It's not gonna happen because you are talking to the liberal's PR machine.

They will rationalize it by saying that the percentages are too small to label a whole movement but everyone knows how racist Republicans are.
Can you say "code words"?

If this were a protest by conservatives, the story line would be that "Wall Street" was code for "Jews."
This bunch aren't even employing code words (as Al Sharpton did with his "diamond merchants" rant) and the media don't care.
Excellent, motherbelt!

Whenever someone rants about Wall Street, I'm going to ask them if they really mean "Jews." That ought to throw at least a few of them for a loop. :-)
You went about this all wrong.

The video should have been submitted to the networks as "Angry Tea Party protestor blames the Jews for everything." Then, once the headlines and editorials started to appear, you could have revealed the truth.
A hundred lunatic bigots out of a crowd of 200 leftists (marching with the endorsement of the communists and the nazis) would be treated as an aberration. A single racist out of a crowd of 1,000 conservatives will be treated as representative of the views of the entire crowd.
Nothing personal... just business.
Jeeeshhh, a few isolated anti-Semitic remarks
Submitted by coin of the realm on Wed, 10/26/2011 - 12:21am.
and you want it to be used to characterize and smear an entire national movement?
Those remarks were roundly condemned by OWS members and the perpetrators of the bigotry have been asked to cease.
You must be desperate, what with all these attempts to discredit a large and popular grass roots protest movement in the greatest tradition of our country. A movement that is American in every respect, which when as large and popular as OWS, inevitably is not perfect and has it's share of haters. Just look at the long and documented history of anti-Semitic remarks about the Holocaust made by Republican candidates and TV poli-entertainers.

Yes. Grass roots and popular and American.

Because every grass root popular American movement has unemployed people squatting and begging for handouts on public and private land. Even the grass root popular American hobo movement knows not to squat for more than a few days.
Let's see how popular your movement is in a few months when it turns into Occupy the Dead of Winter.
Why should they?

Theyre just as anti-Semitic as the OWS morons! BUT,,if it was a Tea Party protester doing this, oh boy, would the SH^T hit the fan!
