Kevin O'Leary interviews Chris Hedges re: the Occupy movement

[snowwalker]

I came across this interview between Kevin O'Leary and Chris Heges regarding the Occupy Wall Street Protests. This interview has reminded me why I rely so much on "informal" sources for my news (on the web, and communities like this one.) Sure I have to fact check sometimes but I can find out what's happening in the world without having to watch

O'Leary's never been the journalist. That's Lang or her substitutes.
This is not surprising. Back when people were disputing Bell's usage based billing on wholesalers, he call the wholesalers parasites. I *am* surprised he backed down. Too bad he ruined the interview.

Cut CBC some slack, jeez.

Discrediting an entire movement takes a lot of work and they haven't had as much practice as some of the other TV networks.

Hopefully CBC has learned their lesson here though. If you're going to let a protester talk on TV, you can't get a well spoken and intelligent one. Otherwise just do what some of the other networks do, and just ignore the whole event completely.

This is humiliating. I would hate anyone in OWS to think this is representative of Canada -- I cringed when he said he felt like he was on Fox News.
