Could a Possible #OccupyWallStreet Connection Explain Lack of MSM’s White House Shooting Coverage?
Big Journalism ^ | November 16, 2011 | John Nolte

Posted on 11/16/2011 9:04:47 AM PST by opentalk

The story of a shooting involving the White House is just breaking wide open this morning. Drudge is all over it as is Twitter. But the shooting occurred last Friday night, and a full two days ago the media quietly reported the following:

Police in the nation’s capital searched the Occupy D.C. encampment in McPherson Square on Monday for a 21-year-old man wanted in Friday night’s incident where gunfire was reported near the White House.

As the Washington Examiner reported, U.S. Park Police officers conducted a “sweep” of the park and were seen pulling an Occupy protester out of a tent and questioning him.

That search was unsuccessful, The Associated Press reported. Park Police Sgt. David Schlosser told the AP that callers informed police that a man matching the description of Oscar Ramiro Ortega was seen in the park, located two blocks north of the White House.

Yes, that’s right, a man suspected of firing a shot that hit the White House might be associated with the MSM’s precious Occupy Wall Street movement.

But check out the headline of that article as well as this AP headline(Man who fired shots near White House at large) The disconnect is obvious. The AP headline doesn’t connect the shooter to the Occupy movement

What if this was the Tea Party?

...This is a five day old story about a man who may have fired shots at the White House with the intent of killing our President, and he has connections to the Occupy Wall Street movement. But for all intents and purposes, the MSM is covering up and underplaying these facts. And they’re most certainly doing everything in their power to keep us from connecting those dots.

Sounds like a good rumor to spread to me.

Listen to Chris Plante on WMAL AM 630 — the guy is an occupy dc maggot, came here to be with them, lived there, and the press said, “he infiltrated” the movement. Covering up, big time. If he was at a tea party thing, would they say he “infiltrated” the event?

I'D LOVE TO DISCUSS THIS FURTHER.
Too bad there isn't an airlock to send the OWSies out of.

Last F-R-I-D-A-Y, an OWS PARTICIPANT armed with a high powered rifle fired once into the bullet proof glass of the White House and once into the exterior of the building.

This felony occurred last F-R-I-D-A-Y. Hey, did you happen to hear about the 15 year old Herman Cain rumor spread by a twice-bankrupt, serially unemployed, blonde bimbo that just happens to live in David Axelrod's very same building in Chicago? Sure you have. Adnaseum.

Oh, by the way. The entire mainstream press corps has known about this crazed White House gunman's actual name, photograph and KNEW he has been ON THE LOOSE in Washington, DC, for days, yet not one single minute of media airtime could be managed into the collective TV network broadcasts or one line of print in the "major" newspapers reported on this story.

Hmmm. Could this media-imposed bias and collective failure to even MENTION this incident, much less report on it, have anything to do with Obama, the media party and the Democrat party fully endorsing the Occupy Wall Street movement? Having to expose yet another OWS radical participant attacking the media's iconic leader, "The One" we've all been waiting for, is simply too much for The Media Party to handle.

Obama's promised "fundamental transformation" of America continues at breath-taking speed, choreographed fully by George Soros, Labor Unions and Sharia compliant Marxist organizations working hand-in-glove with the Muslim Brotherhood. A beautiful syndicate of power hungry corruptocrats made in Hell.

The Occupy Wall Street and Arab Spring riots are one in the same, linked by their leadership structures, primary funding sources and identically global goverment goals. Neither movement was ever spontaneous (as falsely branded by the media), both uprisings were adoringly embraced and glowingly heralded by the media and both "movements" are fully energized by their equally fervent hatred of America and Israel.

Obama hates capitalism. Sharia Law forbids capitalism. Unions despise capitalism.

America is Capitalism. America, we have a grave problem.

The reported suspect has been dientified , arrested , and identified. A second round has been recovered.

Still no word from Lamestream media ( Ministry of Propoganda ) - 5 days after the fact.

Nor any mention made that he alledgedly was an “Occupy Washington” participant, which would explain the delay .

Remember , only the “tea Party” is violent ... /sarc

First thing I thought of...if it were some Ohio Militia guy, they were have sounded off the national emergency broadcast squeals. But remaining relatively quiet would be indicative of some OWS punks—people Obama, Pewlosi, et al, said they were sympathetic with.

Hey, the media has ignored robberies, rapes, assaults, criminal actions, defecating in the streets and so on and so on.

Why shouldn’t they ignore a connection to the White House shooting?

Here is the reporting from CNN,:

WASHINGTON (CNN) - Police are still looking for a suspect in Friday night's shooting near the White House and Washington Monument and say they haven't found any bullets in buildings, cars or trees to indicate what the shooter might have been aiming at. No one was injured.

...Schlosser said law enforcement officials believe Ortega has been in the Washington area for several weeks. link

"America is capitalism. America, we have a grave problem"".

Don't worry, feel safe, we have brave men of great ability like John Boehner and Mitch McConnell on the job. And the Cavalry is on the way, with other great RINOs, like Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, the Newt and the Nut, (Ron Paul). As I see it, the job is no longer trying to save America, she's already lost. The job is to try to rebuild her, from the ground up. But that hain't gonna happen with this crew of Pubbies we're looking at right now. It's plain to see that the Tea Party candidates have been successfully marginalized and eliminated by the media and the Republican establishment types. The real problem is there is a lack of brains within the American voting block, and there is no substitute for brains. For the most part, Americans watch TV so the girly groups and the pundits can tell us how to think and who to vote for.

It is no rumor it was an OWS participant from the story I read this morning. Compounded by the fact he is an illegal no wonder the media is trying to ignore it.It’s one of Yahoo’s lead stories right now so they won’t keep it secret long.

This is an illustration, of the media being the enemy. I see why Beck started an Internet news channel. From the article.

Think about how corrupt the MSM is. We may have a man on the loose with the intent to kill our President, and the media is likely underplaying the story to protect the Occupy Wall Street movement. Maybe if this had been the story it deserved to be two or three days ago, the suspect would’ve been caught already.

Rush is covering how all the mayors are shutting down the protests in unison. This may because of this incident and violence.

The problem with this story, as with everything coming from the whitehut, is that they lie about EVERYTHING.

Time for some common sense gun control.

It seems that this may be a “staged” shooting, just like the larger play, Fast and Furious.
