Corporate Media and the Protests

Anyone else notice that both in France with the labor protests and here with the immigration demonstrations, corporate-owned CNN and other news agencies are using very inflammatory language toward the demonstrators?

"Troublemakers", "people with nothing better to do", "thugs" are just some of the phrases CNN has used to describe them. While last week, dim bulb and Rush Limbaugh's sweetie, host Daryn Kagan suggested the kids demonstrating against the immigration changes "would be better off in classes where they could learn something".
