I saw protesters outside the RNC (Xcel Engery Center). Protesting against poor McCain! *grumble* I saw a protester with a bandana wrapped over her face walking towards the riot police who consequently jet-sprayed pepper spray directly at her! Amazing! Wait a minute...I just googled protests at DNC to check whether the Democrats faced protesters too, and it turns out there were protesters at the DNC too! This just illustrates the complete bias reporting of CNN International (I cannot speak for CNN US edition). I watched both conventions, during the DNC every thing was portrayed as peaceful and loving, everyone in high patriotic spirits, Group Hug!!! During the RNC, CNN showed us that pepper spray scene, (CNN anchor reporting, not the i-reports) someone throwing a bicycle over the some wall, painting a picture that many dislike McCain - painting a picture that if he is elected President there will be social unrest. Not to mention the filming of a sea of white people. Come on, I seriously do not believe that if you scanned the crowd there were only white people there. Maybe the camera man is a democrat, because that's what they harped on, the lack of COLOUR representation. I will have you know that there are many non-whites who approve and support the Republican party (this humble chinese-canadian does, GO McCAIN!!!!) I really spoke too soon on that one.
