CNN pre-coverage of protests

The CNN website has headline news about the upcoming protests, emphasizing that "Schools . . . are putting their students through emergency training" in case things "get out of hand." Lt. Horace Frank was quoted as stating, "Some of these individuals are getting more and more violent towards innocent people in the community. That's a very big concern to us." The article goes on to state that eighteen police officers were injured during the Republican convention.

Such incredibly biased coverage of the protests is uncalled for. Please visit the CNN website, check out the article, and go to the Feedback section to express your concern about such coverage. Insist that they provide fair coverage of the protests by sending investigative reporters to they Philly prisons and the streets of LA.
