This is a short film on how the Portland media portrays anarchists. It can be viewed here (http://youtube.com/watch?v=36A8DV3dk24) on youtube. Pass this around and post what you think about it.

I watched it just a few minutes ago. Thanks for the link, it's a great example of manufacturing consent that's almost impossible to look past. I'm definitely going to be sending this around.
Here's a comment on the video that I thought was pretty interesting:
"public transportation buses were put between us (About 30000 people) and the media cameras. The entire purpose was not security. I own a security business. These fools put those buses there so they could get a calm shot of Bush getting out of his motorcade and walking with CORETTA SCOTT KING, Martin Luther Kings wife, to lay a wreath at his grave on his birthday. NO ONE WANTED BUSH TO BE THERE. Not even King Center Staff. Sound was removed, and all was peaceful in Atlanta That day."

That's was really-really interesting.
Part three (at 11:30 - 17:20 ) is awesome. They essentially take what the media showed, and what actually happened. Some guy with some stupid "Adam and Steve" sign was throwing punches at the protesters, and it's reported as a bunch of violent anarchists causing all the trouble.
