Best Occupy Wall Street Video Interviews
The best Occupy Wall Street video interviews, including clips of the "99 percent" - Americans in the working class who feel they've been largely ignored and are shouldering a huge financial burden in today's economy - and sympathizers. Some of the Occupy Wall Street protest interviews are from new figures emerging as leaders in the movement (liberal blogger Jesse LaGreca, for instance), while others are from protesters who just want to have a voice.
The demonstrations were originally called for by the Canadian activist group Adbusters, and are centered around New York City's Zuccotti Park. The first such event was held on September 17th, 2011, and included a march by an estimated 1,000 protesters through the streets of New York City. 4 weeks later, another march was held that attracted an estimated 15,000 people. Other events have sprung up in cities across America, including Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago and Philadelphia.
Which Occupy Wall Street speeches and interviews are truly the best? That's up to you to decide, with your votes.
Some of these videos include famous environmental and social leaders addressing the Occupy Wall Street crowds and others are actual journalists who are covering the protests, including Keith Olbermann.

Jesse LaGreca Rips Fox News
Early on in the Occupy Wall Street movement, some major news organizations, including FOX News, didn't provide much coverage of the protests. When "On the Record With Greta van Susterern" producers decided to interview protester Jesse LaGreca, they got more than they bargained for: LaGreca positively RIPPED into FOX News, and other media groups. LaGreca's interview, not surprisingly, was not aired on FOX. - 3Up 3Down 1
