3. Canadian news is covering the protests
One of the reporters comment on how well-behaved the protesters were, etc. Good coverage here!

4. Neil McDonald on CBC said the police only let 2 or 3 protestors into the
cordoned off area at a time....Therefore it makes it look like there are a lot less protestors than there really are....Many of them haven't been able to get through yet....McDonald is telling it like it is.....

5. Foreign press is more likely to cover protest than US press
So its a good bet the rest of the world will see this.

6. Probably much more than us
Even CNN is better abroad.

I was in Europe when Reagan died. The funeral coverage was *very* interesting. For example, I caught news segment on the "Hollywood influence" and the way "mourners" (many of them seemed quite cheerful about getting on tv) were arranged for the photo ops.
