Antiwar Protest Largest Since '60s

[Max B. Sawicky]

I thought the Post coverage was pretty good.
They had a front page story on Bush's difficulties
selling his war, underneath a picture of the demo
as visual add.  Inside there was a long piece on
the demo that did not exploit whatever silly
comments came from some of the speakers.  My
agents tell me most of the speeches were o.k.

So? Why are you so obsessed with what the big media do? Surely the 
Post editors, and the rest of the ruling elite they work with and 
for, noticed it and made a conscious decision not to put it on the 
front page.

Or is the Black Bloc strategy to have a small group pull off some 
dramatic action that will grab some headlines, rather than organizing 
larger activities that have a chance of drawing in new people?
