151. Is he articulate?
What does this mean?

Unfortunately, it’s fun to talk to the propaganda machine in the media, especially conservative media such as yourself, because we find that we can’t get conversations on the Department of Justice’s ongoing investigation of NewsCorporation for which you are an employee, but we can certainly, you know, ask questions such as why are the poor engaging in class warfare. After 30 years of having our living standards decrease while the wealthiest 1% have had it better than ever, I think it’s time for, I don’t know, some participation in our Democracy that isn’t funded by news cameras and gentlemen such as yourself.


Unfortunately it's fun to talk to the conservative media because we can't get conversations about the DoJ's investigation of NewsCorp? What does that mean? Why is it unfortunate that it's fun? And why is it fun?

What participation in our Democracy is "funded by news cameras"?

Am I picking on his ability to construct a coherent sentence? Yeah. But only because lots of people were saying he's articulate when he clearly is not. I don't think he'd make a good spokesman simply because many people are confused about what exactly the OWS movement is about. If people are going to understand it, the message has to make sense. His doesn't.

the message comes through clearly in the end. Unless, of course, you are deliberately trying to disrupt and be provocative. :evilgrin:

problem at all comprehending his message. That is a true representation of the 99%-honest folk speaking their minds. It's refreshing-and I think its great.

181. dude... just stop it.
the guy was riffin' in the moment. He's not a professional spokesperson who does it for a living. Most people riff like that when a camera is stuck in their faces. Many people, while riffing on a topic, don't edit the thought stream as accurately as they would if they were writing it or had practiced the speech in front of the mirror for the last 6 months. The majority of us around here know exactly what he meant.

his ability to construct a coherent sentence in your estimation really is your intolerance and inability to get the gist of what he was saying. He only confused you. His message makes total sense.

44. For sure, it just shows you that he has no place getting air time from Fox news
Being that he's informed, articulate, and has facts to back up his claims.

None of those belong on Fox News.

94. It did not make it to Fox. People should flood their site asking why
not. Everyone is spreading the word, AND the video anyhow, Fox can't get away with this stuff anymore, the WORLD is on to them now, and their credibility is shot, except with the remainder of the fringes meaning they have zero influence and have become mostly a laughing stock.

128. FOX "News" only shows the protestors that...
talk like stoners, dressed like hippies...And I saw a clip of Hannity showing a few who were advocating Communism. FOX "News" has an agenda/narrative & they stick to it

Of course FOX would NEVER give airtime to the vast majority of protestors like this gentleman.

Having the facts down cold is just a lot of hard work. Meanwhile the "journalist" was scrambling for any kind of intelligent comeback.

120. Fox News idiotic as usual, describes them as left and anti-capitlist.
These protestors are not anti-capitalist, they want corporations out of politics and they want the corporate criminals, not the honest business leaders, to be prosecuted.

They want justice. The economic agenda is not socialist. It is for justice and honesty. Economic justice can exist in a capitalist system if the capitalists are honest and understand that the purpose of their business is to serve society and that the better they serve society the better their lives and everyone else's.

So many times they choose people who are inarticulate and/or too nervous to speak with a mike shoved in their faces.

This guy got the message out in a few words.

Only problem is...was it shown on FOX?

or was this just some raw footage they shot that never saw the light of day?


The subject was FAR to articulate, calm, rational to be broadcast on Faux news. They only want to show wild hooligans and stir up violence to broadcast and then paint all with the same brush.

Even though the reporter touted how "fair and balanced" Fox was giving him an opportunity to voice his grievences on Greta VanSusteren's show, you can bet they "ran out of time" before this clip aired.

No, I expect fox did not run that interview,. they will find someone who had less ability to speak their mind clearly and forcefully. As we all know they lie. But we no longer need them to run a story,. we do that.

Either hoping for a sympatico or a duffus??


He found neither.

45. He should have made people's heads explode
by wearing one of those tri-corner hats.

"He's wearing a tricorn, but isn't spouting tea party rhetoric? I.. don't. what?" *BEWM*

Entertainment.

A regular guy.... more so than "Joe the Plumber" who's name wasn't Joe and wasn't a plumber.... not falling into line with media talking points and Beltway talking points, which have little basis in reality and are mere projections of what they would LIKE to be true. This guy is talking about what people are thinking. Those who ARE thinking.

makes it sound like hate speech about Fox. FOX NEWS doesn't care about what the people there have to say. They are ONLY interested in getting dirty little sound bites they can use to try to force people into thinking this is a non issue. Well, spoken by the way, If I had been there, He would get a pat on the back from me!!

64. This man just added more fuel to the revolution...
...because he articulated what so many are thinking.

Sometimes, it can be depressing--wondering if anyone else is as upset as you
about the corporations bribing our politicians and purchasing themselves a nice
Congress!

Now, we've got the corporations and the politicians working in tandem to drain the life
out of the middle class--while enriching themselves and their connected networks.

I'm so DONE with all of this corruption! The healthcare bill being written by health-insurance
lobbyists, the war machine murdering in our name for profit, the sick practice of torture, the
BP disaster that came with no accountability, big Pharma killing us with side effects and horrible
drugs--just to turn a profit.

WHEN DOES THE NONSENSE END???????????????

It ends when people like this guy articulates what so many are thinking and feeling. We begin to feel that
we aren't alone. That others see the corruption too. We begin to have hope.

This video needs to be spread far and wide. He speaks for all Americans who are sick to death of this country
being run into the ground by sociopaths, spineless politicians and greedmongering corporate criminals!

152. NO IT DIDNT!
From Media matters

The New York Observer reports that the interview was filmed on September 28 for On the Record with Greta Van Susteren, but it doesn't seem to have aired.

So, to recap, Fox News chose to air a video composed of snippets of Occupy Wall Street protesters speaking, giving various reasons for their presence at the rally, and then concluded that there was no unified reason for the protest. It neglected to air a video of one of the protesters making a lucid, reasoned argument for change and equality and holding Fox accountable for its behavior. Fair and balanced, as usual.

On a similar note, while Fox has been deriding the Occupy Wall Street protests, it heavily promoted Tea Party protests in 2009. For more on this, see here.

150. "Jesus stuff"! Great Meme!
at 2:26....

"I think we would like to see more economic justice or social justice…Jesus stuff, as far as feeding the poor, healthcare for the sick…"


Why isn't that a Democratic meme by now?

How could real Christians not be behind Jesus stuff, like feeding the poor, healthcare for the sick...

160. That guy had some very good answers, but is that really a fox news reporter?
I'm looking at a still right now, and that Fox News logo on the mic looks maybe a bit homemade.

161. I also had some questions...
Nothing I can put my finger on. It may have just been because the video was so incredibly clear. I also noticed what you mentioned about the logo but I can't say for certain that that means anything. There was something about camera focusing. It looked like it was made to look like the camera was using auto-focus but I don't think it was. Interesting.

You're right about the guy having excellent answers.

162. I think I recognize him "Chip" somebody? I think it's a guy I met

in Crawford Tx, but I'm not sure it's the same guy. And maybe at the time he was a Fox Radio network guy?



Anyone else know?

168. This guy is Roger Ailes's (and Mitt Romney's) worst nightmare
An informed citizen speaking his mind coherently.

A hoard of Al Qaeda suicide bombers in their living rooms probably would scare them less.

171. Erin Burnett
Just watched a thing called Erin Burnett ridiculing Occupy Wall Street on CNN. Headlinee was "Really, Protestors"?! Substance was "protesters have computers, apple is on nyse, therefore protestors are hypocrites. Almost threw t.v across room.

190. I've seen that reporter before!
He stuck his mike in my face at the Madison protest in February. Hahahahahaha! I hope the guy starts to consider a different network to work for unless he likes getting beat up on air. I wasn't as wordy as our friend here (and GREAT JOB by him, I must add) but instead disagreed with the reporter and left him hanging. Dead air space. When he asked if I didn't agree that the poor, poor states have to struggle to meet our pensions because we were 'bankrupting' the state, I said "Not in Wisconsin." Then I just stared at him until he got nervous..

Anyhoo, onward OWS. I'm sure it is coming to a city near me, and I will be there. Madison, maybe??

192. If "they" posed these same questions to tp'er they would
hear about God and guns and the obtrusive government meddling in corporate business. Wow, an informed protestor, who makes sense. That is what the tp'ers needed...not.
