Occupy Wall Street
On November 23, 2011, in an interview with Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC, Mayer criticized Occupy Wall Street for its lack of organization but expressed sympathy with the movement's progressive philosophy and aims.
In 1998 Reed Irvine of Accuracy in Media wrote in The Washington Times that President Clinton had “had considerable success over his long political career in planting negative stories about his foes with cooperative journalists.” Irvine said that Mayer was one such journalist.
In 2000, Irvine and Cliff Kincaid wrote at the Accuracy in Media site that Mayer's presence at a Clinton White House dinner “demonstrates what is wrong with the political and media cultures in Washington, D.C.,” and attempted to link the invitation to information Mayer had received about Paula Tripp from sources at the Pentagon.

Famous quotes containing the words occupy, wall and/or street:
“It has always been thought perfectly womanly to be a scrub- woman in the Legislature and to take care of the spittoons; that is entirely within the charmed circle of woman’s sphere; but for women to occupy any of those official seats would be degrading.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“The whole land seems aroused to discussion on the province of woman, and I am glad of it. We are willing to bear the brunt of the storm, if we can only be the means of making a break in that wall of public opinion which lies right in the way of woman’s rights, true dignity, honor and usefulness.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
“What are you now? If we could touch one another,
if these our separate entities could come to grips,
clenched like a Chinese puzzle . . . yesterday
I stood in a crowded street that was live with people,
and no one spoke a word, and the morning shone.
Everyone silent, moving. . . . Take my hand. Speak to me.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
