why blogs are so important
You certainly are not getting the truth on any news channels. I just finished watching a scene and what the reporters were saying did not fit at all with what I was seeing. They seem to be a part of the social control infrastructure.
The footage I saw was of police attacking/shooting peaceful protesters with guns armed with rubber bullets (at close range)and the journalists were talking about anarchists and so on justifying their actions.
In another scene people called police by journalists were grabbing people into vans and driving off without ensuring the person was secure inside the vehicle - their feet were dangling outside the van as they drove off.
One media, "We want to be sure you are getting a really true image of what is going on." Give me a break.
The journalists seem to have been egging the police on for two days with this focus on a small element of vandalism. Änarchists, chaos, fear - and so on in their chatter. The police are so restrained and so on. Clearly the journalists are very much a part of the establishment and they are engaging in social control tactics - especially CBC.
