While mainstream media coverage was, on the whole, very poor and prejudicial, C-Span gave extensive coverage to the demonstrators and to their spokespeople. They deserve some praise

political dissent four years ago, at the 1996 Chicago Democratic Convention, according to Chicago opponents of police brutality. They call last weekend's heavy-handed and illegal police activity during Washington anti-IMF/World Bank demonstrations

But if you survey shopping malls, subways and college campuses across the U.S., few people would have a clue. That is, until this week.
