Fox News went down to Wall Street to meet the Occupy Wall Street protestors. Should have been an easy gig, right? Just point the camera at these wooly headed socialists and pop it on Greta Van Susteren.
But that's not what played out at all. In fact, they interviewed protester Jesse LaGreca and got schooled. The offer to LaGreca to go 'on the record' was forgotten and its understood this interview ended up on the cutting room floor.

Someone needs to kick the worthless lobby-controlled SEC in the ass. The SEC should be regulating Wall Street that's now engaged in many illegal practices. The volatility of the stock market caused by computer trading is damaging to companies and investors and just makes greedy hedge fund managers and other "fat cats" wealthier than they already are. Wall Street's unfair trading practices have destabilized the American economy. On Wall Street the inmates are running the asylum. Regulation is badly needed to curb the corruption and greed and to bring some stability to the market. Check out the article written by Malcolm Berko on Sept. 25. Fox News is an arm of the Conservative Right. Change the channel to get a view point that's fair and balanced. Agree with eiriamach - someone should gag Chris Matthews when others are speaking.

The interviewer offered LaGreca a forum on Fox News to "get your message out," he spoke to the Fox representative about the bias of News Corp, and then News Corp censored him. That's how petty dictators proceed. Nothing new there! If you want to see freedom of expression, go to MSNBC, where interviewers regularly invite the other side to explain or defend their views, and then they let the interviewees speak (except that Chris Matthews can't resist interrupting when other people speak). The other side is allowed to "get the message out" on MSNBC!

Maybe you guys should set up a local chapter and give him a hand. There's no denying anything he's just said. No wonder Fox News refused to broadcast his comments. Fair and balanced my ass.

This young man represents the perfect conversation for his generation and that of the unraveling middle class. Today’s middle class is imploding while the rich on Wall St and their corporate interests, are experiencing the “largest financial inequity” with the working class, since 1929.The American work ethic to work hard, be loyal and at the end of your career you will have peace of mind and a government safety net of Social Security and a pension has been stolen by corporations so greedy that you are just a disposable worker bought at the lowest rate, with the least amount of benefits just so they can make even greater profits. Ethics, Integrity; not found in there work book! And while this is all going on there’s Fox News and Rush Limbaugh deflecting America's attention away from the “true problems” facing us and telling you it’s about birth certificates and who may be the next phony candidate to run for the party who is paid big time to provide the favors a deregulation that got us into this position in the first place. Time to wake up...Get the money (and the lobbying) out of American politics!
