Diane Sawyer: The Occupy Movement Has Spread to More “Than a Thousand Countries”

by Stephan Tawney on October 11, 2011

Thank the Lord for our mainstream media brethren. For what would we do without their journalistic professionalism and layers of fact-checkers.

Speaking of Wall Street, we thought we’d bring you up to date on those protesters, the Occupy Wall Street movement. As of tonight, it has spread to more than 250 American cities, more than a thousand countries — every continent but Antarctica.

Which is interesting, considering the world has nowhere near 1,000 countries. I’d say she meant counties, but then she expands on her statement to note it’s “every continent but Antarctica”. You don’t go from cities and counties to all but one continent, do you?

But that’s actually the least worst of her idiocy. She goes on:

 And of course they are calling for the one percent of richest Americans to find more ways to help the 99 percent and we wondered what’s the gulf between them tonight? So how much does the top one percent in this country earn? Well, on average their incomes, $1.1 million. Compare that to the bottom 90 percent, 100 million households. They earn an average of $31,000.

Uh…no. That’s the whitewashed, MSM-approved version of their activities.

They’re defecating on cop cars, calling for the rich to be executed, shoving their way into national museums, demanding $20 an hour minimum wage and the outlawing of private companies, and demonizing Jews. And that’s when they’re not openly calling for the destruction of capitalism.

They’ve gotten to the point that even lefty cities like Boston and Seattle are getting tired of their crap. Prominent moderate Democrats are telling them to go home, while big government nannies like Michael Bloomberg are openly accusing them of destroying New York’s economy.

So “calling for the one percent of richest Americans to find more ways to help the 99 percent”? That’s bullcrap. And the fact Sawyer blindly accepts that these hippie freaks represent the 99 percent demonstrates just how biased she is. These are far-left, anti-capitalism activists upset with most of the country for stopping their agenda in November 2010. The 99 percent they are not.
