The cop who had to get 23 stitches after being hit by a bottle
is apparently the meme of the MSM. It is pointed to as the start of the real violence at the protests.

While the marine with a fractured skull got a lot of publicity, the MSM is ignoring many instances of unprovoked police brutality. They could talk about unnecessary police violence and the resulting injuries for a long time. There is also no mention of the use of LRAD or other methods.

There constant repitition of some alleged acts of the protesters such as throwing feces. It's not out of the realm of possibility that it happened. One would hope that they would use another method besides a game of telephone started by the PTB. Find out the facts. When that is a journalistic standard, they have reached a new low.

2. They're not even stenographers. They're just reading the corporate line.
At least a stenographer can copy what someone says. The MSM can't even get that straight. They are still portraying #OWS as a bunch of hippies. They fail to cover the 45-50 thousand who crossed the Brooklyn Bridge. They just recite what is given to them, without questioning it.

3. And let's not forget the first real injury, the Vet who got his head cracked.
they cops started this. Let's never forget that simple and basic fact.
