By  the time you click those links, the stories might have been updated, but as of  3pm Eastern Time -- fourteen and a half hours after the incident -- they still  suppressed the truth about the protestors' affiliation.  Unsurprisingly,  some reader comments indicted the TEA Party for the vandalism, and cynics might  suspect that the AP wanted its readers to jump to that  conclusion.

However,  in random acts of journalistic integrity, at least two other local TV stations did report the whole story.  ABC  affiliate KGO wrote,  "A group of 100-200 Occupy Oakland protesters began marching down Telegraph  Avenue after being denied a permit to protest near the First Friday event at Art  Murmur."  And Fox affiliate KTVU reported,  "Around 9:30 p.m. Friday night, some demonstrators broke away from an Occupy  Oakland protest march and smashed the windows of the campaign office on  Telegraph Avenue."

Yes,  every activist group has its lunatic fringe, but the Democrat sponsored, endorsed, and lauded  Occupy movement appears to be comprised of nothing but lunatics.  And just  months ago, OWS was hailed as the face of the 21st century Democrat Party.   Perhaps it is.
