Anarchist Attack

I was watching the news last night and every person talking about the protest was labeled to be an anarchist. So you can be an anarchist and protest the president. But when you do, you cease to be a protester toward a cause and can only be classified by your anarchist roots.

I just feel that everyone out there should know, that the boy next door is here to protest. New York isn't filled with anarchist and radicals. They are just people trying to prove a point and organize towards a cause. And that cause is a radical cause that needs radical displays of hurt. The consequences of Bush's first term can be seen every day in New York. When stores are closing, you can't find a job, and your best friends at war, many American's shake their head in shame. What has this country become?

The other thing that I noticed was that none of the people interviewed for the news looked like your regular next door neighbor. I can tell you know, the majority of peopel I have seen protesting where just your average Joe with a sign and a poster. I have seen some very radical displays. I have seen people who seem to belong only in this environment of mayhem, but that is expected. I feel that the news representation of the protesters is an extremist portrayal that my actually increase Bush's chances in office. When people in small time Ohio see these crazy protesters and can't relate to them, they are pushed closer to Bush and his "protection" and "values" campaign.

I think that the news should stop trying so hard to be unbiased. If they let real people at the protest take about their real feelings towards our current president, I think it would equal out the images of chaos and unorganized protest. Everything in New York is under control. The Republicans are protected and the protesters are happy and peaceful. That is my unbiased truth. As much as I am annoyed by this whole event, I hate to see it slaughtered by the news.
