For those of us who have been active in trade issues outside of an election year, we can tell you that it is absolutely SHAMEFUL how Big Media frames the issue.

I can remember a local NYC broadcast prior to the WEF meeting in Feb 2002 in which they talked about how the police were going to be out on the streets to "keep you safe"!

The clear implication was that anyone marching that next day is a brick-throwing anarchist with no regard for the well-being of anyone around them. And they also didn't bother to report on any of the ISSUES surrounding the gathering and demonstration.

Or better yet, look at the "in-bedded" reports from the recent FTAA summit in Miami. If they weren't completely biased and uninformative, I don't know what is.

Even going to the NYT, I can't even begin to express my hostility toward Mr. Thomas Friedman on this issue, and how he has sought to marginalize the views of anyone questioning the infinite wisdom of the "experts" in this matter.
