One out of thousands of protests turns ugly and World Net focuses on that.......... as with any news agency, looking to sell itself by reporting on that which sells.

Reporting on the thousands that peacfully protested without violence dosen't sell.

Where is the balance so many profess is needed when the story is from the other side of the spectrum? Why didn't World Net tell us the 'rest of the story'?????

There is nothing diverse about this reporting!

Go to this link, type in "War Protest" and see how many articles WND has done on the protests.
Quite a few more than this one.

I tried and got no matches......... I imagine if I tried different dates and wording I would find what you say to be true.

I guess the lack of diversity and one sidedness also comes from us (us being a key word........

) posting articles that support our views only. However it would seem more balanced if this story made some mention of what I bet is the fact that this was not the norm in the war protests of this week.

I really doubt the swat team and riot police were needed in downtown Ashland as grade school, middle school and highschool kids marched two days ago.........

When I dod it it comes up with too many, try to narrow it down. There are many articles but none pro protest.

I would like the story more if it involved a protest blocking traffic, and she just run the greasy hippie down.

I like her logic though...."making me 20 minutes late to class wont help Iraq". I still have visions of that fat guy from the protest in either Portland or Seattle not too long ago getting maced. Funny stuff.
