This video shows Fox News correspondent Griff Jenkins interviewing Jesse LaGreca at the Occupy Wall Street protests. In the video, LaGreca speaks articulately about various issues including the media's focus on minor issues such as Obama's birth certificate rather than the important issues facing the country, the difficult conditions faced by the middle class, and Fox News' role in putting the spotlight on Glenn Beck and his comment that Obama is a "racist." The interview was filmed on September 28 for On the Record with Greta Van Susteren, who chose not to air the segment. Instead, Fox News chose to air a video composed of snippets of Occupy Wall Street protesters 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. Luckily someone else was also filming the interview.
