How come?

How come the G20 protesters get loads of sympathetic press coverage despite there only being a couple of hundred or so of them, but when around a million ordinary folk protest in Washington DC about excessive taxation, they are treated as pariahs or patronised by much of the mainstream media? No wonder many mainstream publications are in serious financial trouble when their integrity has been found wanting on a multiplicity of other important issues.

If these failing publications would ditch the political agenda's and do some proper investigative work again they might regain the trust of the public. Until then they'll have to be content to watch their sales figures slide.
