Now I'm not Mr. Finger-on-the-pulse of protest in the US, but I'd have noticed this. This brings to mind something I'm getting increasingly furious about. The complicity of the media in silencing even the faintest whimpers of protest. A half-million people in the streets protesting the war and not a peep. Basically, their material support in the terroization of America and the subjugation of the American people to corporate atrocities really makes them partners in that terrorism and those atrocities. I think it's time the focus of in-your-face activism should be the media itself. Notice this was two years ago and this is the first I’ve heard of it.
