Pick a Protest! Any Protest!
CNN was just covering the marches in Edinburgh, Scotland, to push the End Poverty campaign at the G8 conference. However, their clip of marching protesters focused mainly on a gigantic banner at the forefront that proclaimed: "9-11: Inside Job Frame Up".
As stymied I am at how that message speaks to world poverty, both Kristin and I have to ask why of all the possible footage CNN could have chosen to run of the protest, they chose this particular image? Because it is a dig at the current administration? Whatever the reason, it truly detracts from the real message and purpose of those march.
