Media Propagandizes UCLA Protest

I’m shocked. No. Really.

Officers armed with beanbag guns stood by as hundreds of protesters chanted, marched and even took over a building Thursday on the UCLA campus, where University of California regents were scheduled to vote on a 32 percent student fee increase.

*SNIP*

The demonstrators outside UCLA’s Covel Commons building chanted, beat drums and waved signs urging “No fee hikes” and “Wanted: Leadership.”

If you watch the AP video included in this article, you’ll get a good dose of chanting (including my personal favorite: Si Se Puede), a few speakers, and some interviews with attendees.

Ditto this coverage from CNN:

It looks like vigorous but peaceful protest, right? Nothing threatening. Not even close to getting out of hand.

Wait just a minute. What’s this? Footage from a documentary maker who happened to be in the area.

The guy who got this footage labeled it a “near riot.” Now I wonder why the unbiased media wouldn’t want people to see the crowd straining the barriers separating them from the police? The angry faces of those jeering at the police?

I mean, the AP, CNN, et al, are there to tell the whole truth of the story. Right?
