Media coverage of DNC (Inside the Convention and Outside)

[KurtFF8]

The thread recently showing the poor coverage by Fox News of the protests is one of the reasons that I'm glad Democracy Now! exists. Their coverage so far has been pretty good. Especially today.

These three segments in particular are an example of good journalism and an example of a contrast with corporate bourgeois media.

I hope that lone commentator in that blog is not suggesting the protesters are pro-McCain.

It seems that they are. Someone ought to reply and clear things up.
