John Stossel Visits Occupy Wall Street, Things Get Ugly

video
» 357 comments

FOX News’ John Stossel paid a visit to the Occupy Wall Street crowd on Tuesday and received whatever the opposite of a warm embrace was from the protesters. The short clip of him being confronted by some protesters as he strolled by and asked questions played out more like a police officer walking past a rowdy group of prisoners than a man who looks vaguely like Geraldo Rivera paying a visit to a protest. Stossel then showed his short collection of clips to Bill O’Reilly, who wondered what this Occupy Wall Street thing was all about:

“There are some people who are really inflamed,” Stossel told O’Reilly.

“What are they angry about?” O’Reilly inquired.

“They’re just…. I don’t know.”

“There’s this visceral hatred of FOX News,” Stossel added. “They have a hundred beefs.”

O’Reilly then brought up an article written by Doug Schoen, in which he revealed, through a poll of 200 Occupy Wall Streeters, that only 15% of the protesters are unemployed. An additional 31% said they would support violence to advance their agenda. His point? That there are too many varied beliefs in this crowd, and it may not be as economically-based as people think.

Stossel’s big zinger came at the end, when he noted that there were so few protesters, relative to other events. “Six thousand according to the New York Times,” he said. “The Boy Scout Jamboree had 300,000.”

    What are they angry about?

    “Fox News lies,” among other corporate crimes.

    “Money equals speech.”

    Anything else?

  • http://twitter.com/Good_Lt Good Lt.

    “Fox News Lies” is a slogan screamed by morons into the faces of imaginary enemies. 

    It is not, in fact, the definition of a crime.

    I know that is confusing, but you keep trying, bud.

    The First Amendment, backed by the Supreme Courts, has long recognized the role that people’s money has played in expressing their speech. Donating money is a form of speech, whether you like it or not.

    Facts are hard, aren’t they, Tim?

    Republicans hate America.  Just listen to them. They actually support the criminals who destroyed our economy. They actually believe there should be a class of citizen with immunity from the laws that the rest of us live by.  They have been systematically trained to do the bidding of their masters to the detriment of the people.  Republicans are a proud and stupid people.  They really are.

  • Hypocrisyjoe

    It continues to intrigue me how all Fox News/Fox Biz reporters and anchors could easily understand (and agree with) the mind of a tea bag but have such difficulty understanding occupy wall streeters. And just as interesting is how all Fox News/Fox Biz reporters and anchors never saw the weirdos, racists and hypocrisy at the tea bag rallies but yet somehow that’s all they see at Occupy Wall Street. Selective reporting? Nah couldn’t be. Fox News is fair and balanced.

    King Obama will regret getting involved in this .

    So who exactly is occupying the White House these days?  Is it the great unifier, healer of the world’s woes, and savior of the planet?  Or is it the man behind the mask who existed all along — the Alinsky-trained community organizer who hung out with Israel-bashing Khalidi and Weather Underground domestic terrorist Bill Ayers?  It is becoming abundantly clear that the White House is occupied by no less than a left-wing anti-Semite who decided that he needed to expand his own occupation to that of Wall Street to ensure his own survival and to perpetuate his anti-American ideologies currently tearing the country apart.

    Obama’s vociferous support for the message of the Occupy Wall Streeters despite their consistent anti-Semitic pronouncements is consistent with his silence in the face of Columbia University’s latest anti-Israel event.  Home of Rashid Khalidi, Noam Chomsky, and other blatant anti-Semites, Columbia is undoubtedly the most prestigious anti-Zionist university in the country, openly hosting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad year after year under the guise of free speech and other liberal distortions of the actual intent of the framers[1].
    This past weekend, Students for Justice in Palestine held a three-day event at Columbia in order to train students across the nation in advance of “Israel Apartheid Week.”  One of the scheduled speakers of the weekend was rapper “Immortal Technique,” who is known for his anti-American and Israeli vitriol and incitement to violence”.

    No one said they were, but unions are the coming together of people for a common good, whilst corporations, by definition, are people seeking not to be held accountable.

    Yes, that’s a real gut buster, Michelle-in-Utah. But:

    Have you considered that these people don’t like hacking into the telephones of young murder victims and of deceased troops? If so, they wouldn’t like NewsCorp or any of the foul off-spring of its fetid loins, like FOX “News”.

    Have you considered that these people don’t like deliberate lies and slanders like those on FOX & Friends last week, even when followed by feeble non-apologies, and that they don’t like deliberate distortions like O’Hannity’s intentionally doctoring crowd photos to inflate the size of T-Partee crowds? If so, they would hold FOX “News” in abject contempt, wouldn’t they?

    Have you considered that you have no idea why you go prostrate before Rupert and Roger? If so, you’d know it is because FOX “News” affirms you hatred of our nation and our people and comforts you in your prejudices.

    Reform yourself before you castigate others. Remember the letter of St. Paul to the Church in Rome: “… be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind ….”

    Unions are coming together to price the Middle class jobs right out of America and into China, Brazil and India. (Mexico would be a viable alternate, only if those jobs kept the illegal immigrants there). The unions are coming together to convince grade school dropout assembly line “workers” that their half-hearted imitation of labor – with a net 5 hour working day, after mandatory breaks and excessive lunch-two-hour -  – is worth as much as they claim it’s worth. The unions come together to break the legs of those who have the nerve to think that they a right to work and support their families and vote for that right in a secret ballot. The unions come together to promote herd mentality, squash individual responsibility and encourage free-loading and tardiness. In short, while the unions give jobs only to their own guilty as hell executives, they talk a good game but they utterly obsolete and useless and only those with insufficient self-worth and ability embrace them.

    Tucson Shootings:

    During the news cycle following the 2011 Tucson shooting, conservative talk-radio host Mark Levin threatened to sue Chris Matthews and several other MSNBC commentators who suggested that he might have influenced the shooter, Jared Lee Loughner. Levin also defended Republican politician Sarah Palin, from MSNBC punditry linking her political rhetoric to the heated political atmosphere surrounding the killings.[89][90] Paul Bond of The Hollywood Reporter
    wrote that “MSNBC was crucial in driving the narrative that the killer
    was egged on by violent political rhetoric, particularly from Palin”.
    Bond also wrote that “even after it was learned that the shooter was an
    atheist, flag-burning, Bush-hating, 9/11 Truther who enjoyed joking
    about abortion (not exactly the portrait of a Palin supporter), MSNBC
    still did not let up on that story line”.[91]

  • Anonymous

    I understand both the Tea Party & Occupy Wall Street movements very well. 

      The Tea Party started off well being heavily influenced by Ron Paul, but was soon taken over by mainstream politicians, and media groups who spun webs around it.  Occupy Wall Street on the other hand was originally organized by Anonymous.  Their originally intended message was, “we the people are mad as hell, and we’re not going to take it anymore”, basically.  They had no real message in particular, other than to form a movement of COLLECTIVE DISSENT.   If you were paying attention, THE MEDIA COMPLETELY BLACKED OUT THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OF THE OCCUPY WALL STREET MOVEMENT.  It is blatantly obvious that all of the networks phoned each other up, and made a decision that would suit ALL of their Government sanctioned, corporatist planned, manufacturing of public propaganda needs.  Two weeks more or less of radio silence… Meanwhile, our analysts will work day/night to come up with the best Fox/CNN/HDLN/BLOOM/MSNBC etc. strategy to quell the left/right dissenters en masse.  They do NOT report the news, they MANUFACTURE IT.  

     Anti-Capitalism was NOT the majority of the original Occupiers platform, but rather Anti-Crony Capitalism.

     But then other’s came along, which is most certainly welcome in a free society, and tried to TAKEOVER their  Public Persona.  Van Jones came on the air and started spouting all sorts of SHIT and giving support for them.  I laughed my ass off all day after that one.  That guy must be paid-off to hold the beliefs he does as a career.  Before you shoot this next comment down on auto-pilot, please do your own research and don’t buy into whatever the MSM or Gov. publicly discloses/and or decides to feed you.  

      Governments keep secrets from the people for a reason, and that’s usually because what they are doing is Illegal, or a large majority of the population would oppose it.  Take mind control for instance…  It is on PUBLIC RECORD thanks to a Freedom of Information Act Request, the C.I.A. fucked with people’s minds hardcore.  They were NEVER held accountable, and as far as we know, they could have created an arm/branch with their black budget, as they did with Area 51, to brainwash key public officials, and or political figures.  Anyhow, that Van Jones.. if such a program were to exist, there’s a very good chance he’s one of their mind controlled/brainwashed/dual personality agents whose soul purpose for creation was to further divide & inject confusion into the fold.  And if not, then quite simply, he’d be ranked a General among Marxist Douches.

      Another thing about Occupy Wall Street, regarding those who are TRULY Anti-Capitalist…  They are with THE ZEITGEIST MOVEMENT & THE VENUS PROJECT.  You could actually make out of their signs towards the end of the Clip’s Stossel & O’reilly used of the protests.  Personally, I believe they have a great message, but one that HUMANITY is NOT anywhere near ready for!!!!  All they can do at this point is help the GLOBALISTS Agenda for a New World Order.  Look up U.N. Agenda 21… that shit is EVIL. 

    The Occupiers SHOULD have beef with wall street, mainly GOLDMAN SACHS and ALL THE OTHER banking institutions who were, “Too Big To Fail”.  That’s a MYTH.  True Capitalism goes hand in hand with Laissez-Faire, Free Markets.  And in such a system, even the biggest companies would be celebrated for failing!  For the Free Markets have a natural balance in which they must always keep to, or else everyone and everything will be prone to economic collapses.  There is NATURE in ALL THINGS.  We must respect that this is so… and acknowledge the nature of the markets.  Libertarianism get’s this right.  They bulls-eye Economic Principles, as well as Classical Liberal views on personal freedom/responsibilities.

    Restore America Now!!!  Ron Paul 2012

    END THE FED    …or at least FULLY Audit it, for starters ^_^

    That or perhaps the fact that Fox runs off pre-shaped story points and a pre-scripted POV on the politically related stories of the day that is circulated on an email to all producers, writers, editors, and on-air talent every morning.  Up until he left in 2009, the memo was sent by VP John Moody, hence the term “The Moody Memo.”   Lots of former employees have leaked copies of the Moody memo, and plenty are online to view.  Have a look, realize you won’t see anything like this from other networks, even the dreaded MSNBC, and maybe you’ll start to understand why people legitimately see Fox News as a directly linked arm of the GOP.

    Or perhaps something more along the lines of Economic Injustice = Corporations being allowed to write virtually all the local, state and national legislation and regulation that impact their tax liability (or lack thereof) regulation (or lack thereof) and trade obstacles (or lack thereof.)

    All of those things used to be in place partially to balance the needs of the corporations with the needs of the rest of society for:
    - A fair distribution of tax burden
    - The chance to compete for jobs on a fair playing field
    - The right not to have pollution of water, soil and ground that can endanger their health,
    - The right not to have the economy destroyed by the deregulated financial sector making massive sub-prime security backed bets using money from Insurance Companies, Pension Funds and Commercial banks which first made them millions in payoffs, then, when they blew up, made them millions in tax payer funded bailouts.

    But if it makes it easier for you to deal with by framing it as people unhappy because they are lazy and poor, while others are rich and hard-working, so be it.  God knows Fox News is working 24 hours a day to make sure you see it that way.

That means 1 percent of the population controls a majority of the wealth. The biggest income gap in nearly a century. Is that too complicated for your pea sized brain?

    Fair means to treat everyone the same. The tax code does not trickle to the top. The bottom 50% pay ZERO federal income taxes….ZERO. Billionaires like Buffett do not make incomes (small if they do). They have wealth. They do not need incomes.

    If you really wanted “fairness” you would be here promoting a flat or fair tax. That is what is fair. Everyone pays the same percentage. Simple, no loopholes, no deductions, no hiding. All pay the same. That is what is called fair.

  • MontyPyth0n

    A “fair” distrubution of the tax burden??????? Don’t use the word fair when you are talking about a progressive tax system. A progressive tax system is the antihesis of fair. Fair is everyone is treated the same. That would be a flat tax rate for all. You are claiming fairness out of what you FEEL is fair. But what is fair is not for you to decide. Fair is just fair. All treated the same.

    Over the years, we have heard from the Republican
    Party, Our Government is the BEAST, and the people the Republicans represent
    are the Wealthy, the Wealthy complain they are tired of feeding the BEAST, it
    so happens, Our Federal Government, which you refer to as the BEAST has been in
    charge of a vast area of land, with a mega population, who has been orderly and
    commanded a peaceful lifestyle for her entire citizenry for over 200 years. You
    don’t do this with peanuts or wishful thinking. America offers freedom for all
    her people, but it comes with a cost and everyone must pay. If America is using
    too much money, it is not because she is too big, it is because of theft,
    graft, corruption, and embezzling, waste plus through greed, opportunity,
    cunning ability and low moral standards, which allows con-artist to relieve any
    person or organization of a portion or all of their valuables. Stopping all of
    these offenses against America, would put America back on the right track. In
    the mean time America needs to be up and running, doing the job she was created
    to do. Interference from Greedy, selfish, irresponsible people with Billions of
    profits they have received from Manipulative Economics, which drove Inflation
    to its highest level, where buyers and lenders went broke and ran scared
    leaving a sudden bust, plunging our financial markets into a FINANCIAL ABYSS.
    This showed the HONOR SYSTEM is a very bad system and forced rules and
    regulations to be accepted immediately and much more still needs done before
    the non-gambling decent Wall Street markets can be brought up to true merit.
    The Gambling part of Wall Street needs to be disassembled or separated from the
    Real Stock Market so the Real Stock Market can get on with producing the
    various products and services much needed by the world community. 

    The Gambling part of Wall Street, which created hype
    and manipulation as to whether value was going up or down on the product they
    were promoting, be it commodities, securities or whatever should be done at the
    Las Vegas Style Casinos. These Gambling Profit and Loss activities disrupts the
    fundamental direction of investing, which Wall Street was intended to create.
    The winnings from bets made in the Gambling part of Wall Street were usually
    the savings form single savings accounts and group savings accounts, which
    people were depending on for Pension Money down the road a few years. If the
    Gambling part of Wall Street were not there, these various Savings Accounts
    would probably have been put into a sound long term, more reputable and
    trustworthy company stock which pay dividend with little to no chance of being
    lost as was done in the Gambling part of Wall Street. Fund managers failed.

    To help understand why this Casino Part of Wall Street
    is a bad thing, try to visualize it made Profits when the investment, (the bet)
    went up, it make Profits when the investment, (the bet) went down. Now when you
    make profits going up and profits coming down, the money must be coming from
    somewhere and where it is coming form must be losing. That somewhere was form
    pensions funds, loans from banks, credit cards, private saving accounts,
    probably 2nd mortgage loans-(trying to get rich) and probably pretty
    healthy pay checks. When people gamble in Las Vegas, some win small amounts to
    keep you coming, in a blue moon someone get a big jackpot to convince you
    possibilities are real, in the end Las Vegas makes all the money until people
    quit coming and playing, which they do when recessions and depressions limit
    everyone’s income.

    I hope this gives you some good ideas as to the part
    the gambling part of Wall Street plays in our financial abyss.  Many other things added to this same problem.
    Losses of any kind our Government needs to pay for including hurricanes, Fires,
    floods, earth quakes and you can go on and on in this category. Other
    categories are excess wages, excess salaries, excess profits, excess bonuses,
    excess rewards and anything in the loss category. All of these things are
    highly inflationary in the excess category. Profits, bonuses, kick backs and
    other forms of rewards are the worst because no transparency leaves room to lie
    about whether the excesses are there or not. Everyone likes the honor system
    but very few people have proved to be honorable. This is why they lock Bank
    doors at night.

    Modest inflation will keep money circulating, workers
    working and warring people at bay. Hyperinflation is profitable for the Greedy
    but it is always short lived, followed by anything from discontent to outright
    war, death and destruction. If leader are smart, they will do whatever it takes
    to get things going again.

    Workers wages are most always modest at the lowest end
    of all incomes, which causes less inflation.

    How is the tax code rigged?  Please explain?

    The top pay about 10% (anything above $380,000), and 25% and 20% more than the bottom rungs.  
    The top would obviously pay more total tax because of their purchases and their property.  All in all they support every level of government with a lot more $’s.  That’s not enough for you because they have and you don’t?

    Because Buffett decided to make a stupid comment and you bought it – you think it isn’t fair?
    If Buffett decided to pay himself a salary instead of paying himself nothing and stashing his money in a foundation he’d be paying a fortune in taxes!  But, he doesn’t – why you ask? lol

    Buffett is speaking from a safe place – he’s taken care that his “estate” will not be hit when he dies.  You think the man amassed his fortune and is willing to give it all away to the government?

    Classic delusional response. Attack, deny and obfuscate. This is a keeper!

    Why the hell would any sentient human being give a rat’s ass what Limbaugh, Beck, Erickson and their ilk think about Frum? Seriously. Because he’s not a right wing hack who’s sold his soul to the GOP?

    HIs mother? Give me a break. Is this one of Beck’s guilt-by-association games? (Maybe we can link him to Van Jones and HITLER, too!)

    The damage to legitimate journalism caused by Faux News is that they have consistently reframed every story as a debate between left and right. Virtually nothing is reported on that doesn’t fall into the Channel’s preconceived narrative. Did you ever see the emails from Bill Sammon, the FNC’s editorial director, which ordered all on-air reporters to preface every reference to climate change with doubts?

    This is FAIR AND BALANCED only to the easily gullible.

    Really, I fear for our republic when I read comments from people like you.

    So what are YOU saying?  Being the richest Congressmen does not mean more corporate money goes to them.  One has nothing to do with the other.  Dead beat dad Joe Walsh got lots of corporate backing when he ran and according to him he’s too poor to support his own children.

    You worked with John Stossel before… interesting!! I personally see a difference in and how he covers stories today then when he did 20 years ago!! Before he would talk about waste (maybe not as much as he does today), but it seems every story today has a tinge of right-wing talking points added to the mix!!

    Here you go. Marxist demands at their best. 

    The “Occupy Wall Street” protesters have listed 13 proposed demands from their website.

    Demand one: Restoration of the living wage. This demand can only be met by ending “Freetrade” by re-imposing trade tariffs on all imported goods entering the American market to level the playing field for domestic family farming and domestic manufacturing as most nations that are dumping cheap products onto the American market have radical wage and environmental regulation advantages. Another policy that must be instituted is raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr.

    Demand two: Institute a universal single payer healthcare system. To do this all private insurers must be banned from the healthcare market as their only effect on the health of patients is to take money away from doctors, nurses and hospitals preventing them from doing their jobs and hand that money to wall st. investors.

    Demand three: Guaranteed living wage income regardless of employment.

    Demand four: Free college education.

    Demand five: Begin a fast track process to bring the fossil fuel economy to an end while at the same bringing the alternative energy economy up to energy demand.

    Demand six: One trillion dollars in infrastructure (Water, Sewer, Rail, Roads and Bridges and Electrical Grid) spending now.

    Demand seven: One trillion dollars in ecological restoration planting forests, reestablishing wetlands and the natural flow of river systems and decommissioning of all of America’s nuclear power plants.

    Demand eight: Racial and gender equal rights amendment.

    Demand nine: Open borders migration. anyone can travel anywhere to work and live.

    Demand ten: Bring American elections up to international standards of a paper ballot precinct counted and recounted in front of an independent and party observers system.

    Demand eleven: Immediate across the board debt forgiveness for all. Debt forgiveness of sovereign debt, commercial loans, home mortgages, home equity loans, credit card debt, student loans and personal loans now! All debt must be stricken from the “Books.” World Bank Loans to all Nations, Bank to Bank Debt and all Bonds and Margin Call Debt in the stock market including all Derivatives or Credit Default Swaps, all 65 trillion dollars of them must also be stricken from the “Books.” And I don’t mean debt that is in default, I mean all debt on the entire planet period.

    Demand twelve: Outlaw all credit reporting agencies.

    Demand thirteen: Allow all workers to sign a ballot at any time during a union organizing campaign or at any time that represents their yeah or nay to having a union represent them in collective bargaining or to form a union.

    These demands will create so many jobs it will be completely impossible to fill them without an open borders policy.

    Occupy Wallstreet and the increasing growth of occupycity throughout the US is concerning the fact that corporations and the richest one percent control the wealth at the expense of the rest of us who don’t head huge business or for that matter any large business.  By huge I mean comglomerates. By large I mean every other major company.  Its common knowledge that the vast majority of corporations don’t pay their fair share in taxes.  Therefore shifting the burden to the people.  This is especially true of the middle class.  Now corporations are becoming increasing international, ie thereby being capable of sidestepping US tax laws.  The  foreign bank accts certainly are handy in tax dodging.  Bank of America is being investigated for its alleged role in the mortgage crisis of 2008.  This fiasco is believed by many economist to be a main contributor to the depression of 2008.  Occupy what ever   city is occupied is about the rest of us being treated fairly, economic security, the US govt , including the  Obama presidency of being for the people, not big business at the expense of the people.

    Remember when Stossel was smacked by pro wrestler David “Dr. D” Schultz back in the 1980s?
    Too bad the doctor didn’t hit him harder!

    Fox news sure does give a lot of attention to these left wing loons who are a minority with no real message. If the protest are small and the people don’t really represent a broad base of America why give them so much media air time?

    No, voltman.  Unions have to negotiate their benefits with their employer.   If congress had to negotiate their pay and benefits with the American public (their employers), they would be significantly smaller.
