Occupy Wall Street Movement and Media Co-option Claims

The Occupy Wall Street protests are analyzed as a movement potentially co-opted by the Obama administration and labor unions. A clip from Al Sharpton's program features "organizer" Harrison Schultz, who describes the movement as a "conversation" rather than a set of specific policy goals. The hosts argue that mainstream media and political figures are using the protests to distract from failed economic policies.
