I'm very excited! Chris Hayes just announced he was about to cover a story about a protester who shredded Fox news and showed Jesse's face!
Set your DVRs. Jesse is about to start his 15 minutes of fame.
I believe this is the video they're about to talk about:
This diary covers the interview in depth:

If you can afford sending a few bucks, Jesse's unemployed. Here's Jesse's paypal info from an old diary:

Here's a transcript of Chris Hayes remarks before and after he aired Jesse's video:
Hayes: When Fox Correspondent Chris Jenkins went down to lower Manhattan this week to give the demonstrators a taste of "fair and balanced" reporting, he instead ran into a rather eloquent protester named Jesse LaGreca who calmly explained what Occupy Wall Street is really about. Shockingly, Fox never saw fit to put the video on air. Fortuneately, somebody else captured it on video.
[Jesse's whole video now airs]
Hayes: So good. Producers always have more video than they have airtime of course. Greta Van Sustren tells the "Media Eye' blog that her team was doing a two minute story about economic issues that prompted the protests, and apparently that didn't include Jesse LaGreca.
You know, this whole viral video episode has given me an idea. You know how political campaigns hire trackers to follow around and record their opposition? Well, I think we should follow around the media. Record them doing interviews and then publish what they won't publish --- including, hopefully, the likely dumbass things they say before and after an interview. Kinda like a "
Media Matters Reality Show." What do you guys think?
