Fox News CEO Rupert Murdoch stages FAKE Occupy Wall Street Hecklers ?
YouTube Description:
"Judge for yourself... Are these really Occupy Wall Street protesters? Most of the protesters I've interacted with seem rather intelligent and articulate... Is this an attempt by Murdoch and mass media to rename Occupy Wall Street as "Occupy Sesame Street" ?Is this the beginning of corporate America's desperate attempt to discredit or dilute our movement?You decide...My opinion... this seems decidedly fake... Note how there is conveniently a cameraman to whip around and film the first protester, then the 2nd... plus a photographer down front ready to turn around and snap some shots of the gawky protesters... portrayed by terrible actors...Whoever directed this pile of dung deserves a Turkey Award!"

Peroxidesays...I think if it is fake, you'll know by how much it is covered. If it explodes into the media, probably fake.
notarobotsays...I don't think this is faked. I think this is a legitimate argument against for-profit interests moving in on public education. (As wonky as it may be.)
Mr Murdoch appeared as part of a two-day education forum sponsored by the Foundation for Excellence in Education, a group chaired by former Florida Governor Jeb Bush. It champions school vouchers, charter schools, performance pay for teachers and digital learning.
‘We need to tear down an education system designed for the 19th century and replace it with one suited for the 21st,’ Mr Murdoch said during his morning address.

Does he mean to design a system for the wealthy to profit from?
The style of the protest was no doubt inspired by the satirical website, http://occupysesamestreet.org/
shagen454says...Yeah, remember that San Franciscans have different forms of protest than over in New York. Code Pink, etc. My favorite was PIES FOR YOUR LIES, this was definitely for real.
