The attitude in the media towards Occupy Wall Street, Goldberg, argues, is far too favorable because “if they [the media] share your values, you will get an easy ride.” In contrast, the Tea Party, being conservative, was molded into a narrative where “conservatives are people who aren’t very nice and, frankly, racists,” while the Occupy Wall Street folk are “young idealists, the American version of the Arab spring.” Crowley noted that the coverage of violence and anti-Semitism at the events was lacking, which Goldberg compared to that of racism in the Tea Party. “I’m not saying at all that these anti-Semitic signs are representative of the whole movement,” Goldberg argued, but that “the racist sign at the Tea Party was also an outlier.”October 31, 2011
