SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Protesters associated with the Occupy Wall Street movement heckled News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch during a speech at an education forum in San Francisco.

Murdoch was repeatedly interrupted on Friday as he talked about the role of technology in improving the country's public education system at a downtown hotel.

Protesters accused him of trying to profit off of the public education system. About half a dozen people were escorted out of the hotel although they said they were not arrested.
