Terrorists as Person of the Year: The TIMES they are A-CHANGIN’ (archived)

Scott Creighton (archived from Dec. 2011)
I am going to propose a scenario for you. You ready? Here we go…
A video surfaces of an Occupy Wall Street protester sneaking up on a NYPD police armored personnel carrier on a calm winter morning, there is no combat, there is no action taking place at all…  and then he whips out a RPG and fires, point blank, taking out the cops in the carrier and putting at risk any civilians in the area with the threat of flying shrapnel and debris.
Let me ask you: do you think our MSM would show that video and then try to make those Occupy Wall Street protesters out to be heroes? Or, do you think that the MSM outlet, let’s say NBC, would consider that video is proof that Occupy Wall Street and the associated groups who support them are actually domestic terrorists?
Is there any real question as to how the story would be handled?  Of course not.
(More likely, here in America and certainly in New York, the REAL story would be that the NYPD Intelligence division got an informant to find a homeless guy who was a bit mentally ill and then framed him for the attack so that Bloomberg could look “tough on terror”)
Right now on MSNBC and NBC’s front pages is a video of just such an action. The only difference is it takes place in Homs and the ones firing the RPG are the “protesters” in Syria.
NBC portrays them as heroic for this act of terrorism. Like Lybia, this is the new “terrorist as heroes” meme being force-fed to the American public on a daily basis.
Look at these two images; one taken from the NBC story I just mentioned and the other is the cover of Time magazine depicting their choice for Man of the Year.
