Corporate Press protest / G8police violence

As the corporate media were given a pretty rough ride in Genova by Pinochets finest .
I would have thought that the foreign correspondents based in Italy should surely be organising some kind of protest after what happened in genova and they know as well as we do.
Accepting the fact that it’s ok to batter innocent people who decide to take up their right to peacefull protest, is fair enough , we always knew that democracy was bullshit .
But to beat up the very people you employ to create the distorted version for media bullshit machine would seem to put you journalists in the same boat as us ordinary citizens in short they couldn’t give a fuck about you .
Is there no honour amongst theives ?????
Perhaps you could get your own back and tell it as it is for a week , shock some of those folks back home , before Berlusconi marches into Lichenstein , which would be about his mark .
well what do you say , you might find a lot of support from the independent media circles and some respect as well , which a lot of you, as individuals undoubtly deserve.

I agree. And just want to add that it was a small Reuters employee (the guy with the mac job) who distributed the photo sequence of Carlo Giuliani's murder straight to indymedia. Yeah, it was him - one of the smallest guys in the bloody hierachy.... Massive respect to him! *
