2001: Recent pre-Mayday corporate media coverage:

There has been that much corporate media coverage that it is very difficult to keep track - we found many articles and have listed them below but didn't have the time to review them yet. Watch this space, at some time we will have slept again. In the meantime, enjoy a comment by Mr Q on the 'Plastic Bullets for Mayday' story. We liked it so much that we print it here in full:

Why does Indymedia have to be so biassed? Can't it see that it's just a small armed minority of dangerous policemen who are getting out of hand? Most policemen who come to these protests to police the event are entirely peaceful and it's just a small unruly minority who give the rest of them a bad name.

If we've missed an article or if you see another, or if you have or know of a good piece of media critique regarding Mayday please email details to press@indymedia.org.uk.
