YouTube Description:

www.DemocracyNow.org - Among the thousands at last night's Occupy Wall Street protest in New York City was award-winning journalist and author Naomi Klein. She is the author of the bestselling book, "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism." She also wrote "No Logo," a book that has become a cultural manifesto for critics of unfettered capitalism worldwide. Klein was interviewed on Democracy Now! to discuss the Occupy Wall Street movement and why it is being belittled in the corporate media. "My biggest fear was that the Obama presidency was was going to lead this generation of young people into political cynicism and political apathy," Klein says. "But instead, they are going to where the power is. They are realizing the change is not coming in Washington because politicians are so controlled by corporate interest, and that that is the fundamental crisis in this country."For the complete transcript, podcast, and for additional Democracy Now! reports about the Occupied Wall Street protests, visit http://www.democracynow.org/tags/occupy_wall_streetFOLLOW DEMOCRACY NOW!
