When Reality And Gatekeepers Collide
Found the following video and 411 on Ed Driscoll dot com
In the above video, James Taranto discusses the difference between what goes on at the typical “peace protest” versus the staggeringly sanitized version that’s reported in the newspaper. Or as I’ve written before, just compare the photos in Zombietime of any Bay Area protest versus how the event is written up by the Victorian gents in your local newspaper. Of course, it was much easier to keep the gates closed on this sort of thing before the Blogosphere, as Sheila Gribben Liaugminas writes in a terrific piece found via Bob Owens.
Of course, occasionally, a paper gets it right. In his Best of the Web column today, Taranto spots a Sacramento alternative weekly with what sounds like–from the headline on–a pretty accurate description of the left’s busywork activities in DC this weekend. “It’s the feel-good story of the season”, Taranto quips.
