24 hour rolling yawn

April 1st, 2009

Ahh the weird parallel universe of rolling news. Just watched 5 minutes of footage of a guy with blood streaming down his head, shouting at police. And the guy from the BBC blandly carries on his voiceover, only commenting when there’s scuffling at the police line, chatting on to the chief cop as he sets up his narrative of, “these are the [bad] protesters that haven’t spoke to us, they aren’t like the others, they’re fine.” Clearly setting the scene for them to put the boot in later on.

Also: that’s the biggest-looking crowd of 3000 I’ve ever seen….
