Excellent pics! Felt like I was there, unfortunate I could not. Hit on one of the most painful (for me) themes at protests, the behaviour of the mainstream media. In protests I have attended in Halifax journalists show up and leave early; the former so they can minimize the numbers of participants while ALWAYS stating that protesters SAID the number to be greater than the journalist's perception, the latter so they don't get to hear or report on the content of the presentations that highlight the issues of concern. Another consistent practice is to pull, out of context really, an issue from the summit and frame it in such a way as to discerdit protesters as irrational to protest -insert noble cause here- in this case the CBC journalist expresses being perplexed as to why people would be out in the street protesting a summit to support "Health Care for Mothers and Children". His speculation: Protesters disagree with how such care will be delivered. No meat to this at all , of course.Not ONE SPECIFIC point made by anly of the protesters or presenters, no because the real meat for the media is, in this case, the ONE arrest of ONE person. This will make up the majority of the time allotted to this report. I don't trust or speak to mainstream journalists/ editors anymore at demonstration because my experience has taught me they will misrepresent or omit the entire point f a person is speaking to, to essentially cut and paste a soundbite to fit what they want and support their slant. The issues behind the protest are NEVER the focus in any demonstration/ march I have particpated in or observed, the protest is. Big or small. Ron is bang on. That's their story and they are sticking to it.
