Media Pounces on False DNA Link to OWS Protests, Student's Murder

I post this because a SH conservative attempted to demonize Occupy Wall Street protesters as murderers or, in some bizarre way only a conservative could dream, as accomplices. The facts:

Earlier today, corporate media outlets were headlining shocking news: the New York Police Department had found DNA that linked the Occupy Wall Street protests to an unsolved 2004 murder.

NBC New York reported, “forensic evidence from the 2004 murder scene of a Juilliard student” named Sarah Fox has been linked to “the scene of recent Occupy Wall Street subway vandalism.”

But now, the corporate media's anti-Occupy movement narrative seems to have hit a snag.

The New York Times is reporting late Wednesday afternoon:

The DNA match that suggested a possible link between the unsolved killing of a Juilliard student in 2004 and a chain recovered at the site of an Occupy Wall Street protest in March was the result of a laboratory error, a person briefed on the matter said on Wednesday.

The DNA that investigators initially believed was recovered from skin cells on the slain woman’s portable compact disc player and from the chain found after the March protest came from a laboratory supervisor at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, the person said.

I have no expectation of an apology, from that conservative, to Occupy Wall Street protesters. Notice it's the corporate media "reporting" false information. Corporate media news reporters/anchors are a part of the 1% and are part of the problem not the solution. Do you seriously think there will be a retraction?

    Where did the DNA sample come from? I bet one of the piles of feces on the sidewalk.

    I'm never surprised at the number of meaningless comments by conservatives who reject facts, science and reason.

    There aren't any facts to support the story; it was a lab error. That's the fact you're rejected.
