Breitbart.com has received exclusive tape of an Occupy Strategy Session at New York University, billed as a group talk on “The Abolition of Capitalism.” One of the headline speakers at this session was Stephen Lerner, former leader and International Board Member of the SEIU and frequent Obama White House visitor. Lerner argued in favor of people not paying their mortgages and “occupying” their homes; he spoke in favor of invading annual shareholders meetings to shut them down. But his big goal was to get workers to shut down their workplaces. That’s where the SEIU agenda and the Occupy agenda truly meet: once workers begin to occupy.

Shadow I responded to the post. Much of what you post is not true... as is your definition of 'troll'.
For most Americans, Breibart is not a reputable journalist source. In the past the video's that he's promoted turned out to be doctored video and totally false. Why would you expect this one to be any different.
I have no idea if this video is valid... but based on past experience with Breibart I doubt it.

You're nothing if not predictable. You do what you always do, if you don't like what's being said about your progressive idols you say the source is lying even though there is a tape from the source. You also like to attack the messenger which is another Saul Alinski rule so don't pretend to be just answering a statement you have a bigger agenda than anyone who posts on here. The video of which you speak was posted as Breirbart received it he had no previous knpowledge that it was edited before he received it. Yes and he lied about Weiner too that's why you boy Weiner is no longer in Congress, Acorn is a corrupt organization and just because you don't like the way the sting was done you call it lies.

If CBS, NBC or ABC were to post a video with out checking the validity of that video, as you say Breirbart did, they would be considered just as unreliable a source as Breirbart is today.
Why not send CNN a video showing the world is flat... IF they post the video with no knowledge of it's authenticity, they would be condemned by every other news source... as is Breirbart.

I agree Breitbart screwed up by not checking the source and accuracy of the tape before airing the piece. He should have known better because of all people he was always in the cross hairs for being setup.

So you actually think that a smart guy like Andrew was hoodwinked into posting a bogus video??? Twice??? So on the THIRD scam, you'd think that Andrew would check his source???
Face it Shadow, any news outlet checks it's source, most need at least two independent sources before they will post a story. Breitbart wasn't scammed, he was the scam.

How about that smart guy Dan Rather? Was he hoodwinked when running the Bush National Guard story? How about CNN when they edited the Ron Paul interview to make it look like he walked out of an interview - were they hoodwinked, or did they PURPOSELY edit a video to mislead the audience? The major media outlets edit videos and edit interviews to make them appear any way they desire. I wouldn't hold the alphabet news organizations above Brietbart, they are the same, and one is just more powerful than the other.
I assume you are older; you have been conditioned to trust MSM regardless of the proof over the years that they lie, edit, and omit stories that they feed to the masses. I think the biggest failure of MSM is the non-reporting. The MSM will report a Michael Jackson trials and other celebrity news 24/7 for weeks on end, while American troops are dying in foreign lands gets a 30 second blurb.
The American MSM is news designed to keep people ignorant.

Another Disjointed Cicero Rant!
Cic... tell me... how does Michael Jackson trial coverage and the lack of American troop recognition fit into this discussion??? You really do get lost when you start to rant!
Dan Rather was scammed. Why was that notable??? Because the major news outlets (not FoxSnooze of course) pride themselves in being accurate. When they can't prove a story, they lose credibility (as FoxSnooze has) and no one believes them. (I actually believe that Rather was correct in reporting on GWB's AWOL report, but Rather couldn't prove it with the data he had)

For those a little slower, I will explain.
You commented on Breitbarts "scam" reporting, and then you praised the MSM as a reliable source of information. I pointed out specific lies and distortions that the MSM committed over the years, along with their omission of IMPORTANT NEWS like the death and destruction our military is causing around the world. We have drones all over the Middle East; we bombed Libya, and are talking about going into Iran and Syria. The lack of depth in which these issues are discussed by the MSM is an embarrassment. And if it is discussed, it is from one bias point of view.
For a full day, the cable news network’s broadcasted Whitney Houston's funeral LIVE for crissakes! For the past 2 days, it has been about the tornado’s (legit) and Rush Limbaugh's apology. Are you kidding me?
The MSM drives the national debate...Andrew Breitbart was able to change the national debate by focusing on government corruption. The government/media complex didn't appreciate that. He forced the media to cover stories they would have otherwise omitted. Like I said, the MSM's job is to report "news" to keep the people ignorant. Do not pay attention to the man behind the curtain.

All the issues that Cicero says the MSM doesn't report on... I could easily post news reports to prove him wrong: "their omission of IMPORTANT NEWS like the death and destruction our military is causing around the world" I guess the key word here is "IMPORTANT". The MSM does,of course, report on "the death and destruction our military is causing around the world" but not enough for Cicero's "IMPORTANT NEWS".
However the MSM did report about the Breitbart ACORN Scam Video" (that turned out to be bogus), and the MSM did report on the "Breaitbart Shirley Sherrod Scam Video" (that also turned out to be bogus)
As for sports, weather and celebrity reporting on the MSM or Cable... that isn't news so is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned.

I'm sure you can get news off the internet. There IS news on the internet. Can you post MSM news that shows the time, day, depth, and frequency they report the stories in comparison to say the story and analysis of - the Casey Anthony updates that were running non stop, or the trial for Michael Jackson's doctor, or Lindsy Lohan's DWI?

Nope! But unlike Breitbart... their stories are almost always true and factual.
If your complaint is that the NEWS programs both on the big networks and on cable carry too much fluff and celebrity stories... we agree.
