There was an article in The Nation last week by Sarah Anderson, wherein in she described what was going on in the FTAA protests, at the street-level. She descibed one incident in which a news crew for a local television station hurriedly made their way to a street upon hearing that 'anarchists' were gathering to make a push against the police, only to find that they had peacefully moved on. It seemed to me like the mainstream television media were only interested in capturing images of violent clashes, instead of focusing on what brought together seemingly disparate elements of people from different parts of two continents to protest a trade meeting. I guess social justice will have to be sexed-up in some way, before it can be sold to the public.
