But they missed more than just 200,000 people. The major issue of debt cancellation was entirely missed.  The rare attention given to \"debt relief\" completely obscured the nature of the more fundamental demand for cancellation, as well as its legal and historical foundations.  Coverage of police violence was similarly superficial and devoid of the \"tough questions\" the media is supposed to ask.  The police raid on independent journalists at the IMC went virtually unreported.<\/b>\r\n\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/table>\r\n\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/table>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n      <\/td>\r\n   <\/tr>\r\n<\/table>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<table width=\"530\" cellspace=\"0\" cellpadding=\"6\">\r\n   <tr bg>\r\n      <td>\r\n         <table>\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n                                \r\n            <tr bg>\r\n               <b>  \r\n               <\/b><td><\/td>\r\n               <td width=\"300\">\r\n                  <b>  \r\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/b><p><\/p><b><\/b><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"210\" align=\"right\" valign=\"top\"><table cellpadding=\"7\" align=\"left\"><tr bg><td><b><hr><br><\/b><p><\/p><hr><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/td><td width=\"300\"><b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/b><p><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"210\" align=\"right\" valign=\"top\"><table cellpadding=\"7\" align=\"left\"><tr bg><td><b><hr><br><\/b><p><\/p><hr><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/td><td width=\"300\"><b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/b><p><\/p><p><\/p><p><b><\/b><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"210\" align=\"right\" valign=\"top\"><table cellpadding=\"7\" align=\"left\"><tr bg><td><b><hr><br><\/b><p><\/p><hr><br><p><\/p><hr><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/td><td width=\"300\"><b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/b><p><\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"210\" align=\"right\" valign=\"top\"><table cellpadding=\"7\" align=\"left\"><tr bg><td><b><hr><br><\/b><p><\/p><hr><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/td><td width=\"300\"><b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/b><p><\/p><p><b><\/b><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"210\" align=\"right\" valign=\"top\"><table cellpadding=\"7\" align=\"left\"><tr bg><td><b><hr><br><i><\/i><\/b><p><\/p><hr><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/td><td width=\"300\"><b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/b><p><i><\/i><\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p><i><\/i><\/p><p><i><\/i><\/p><p><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"210\" align=\"right\" valign=\"top\"><table cellpadding=\"7\" align=\"left\"><tr bg><td><b><hr><br><i><\/i><\/b><p><\/p><hr><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/td><td width=\"300\"><b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<i><\/i><i><\/i><i><\/i><\/b><p><i><\/i><i><\/i><\/p><p><b><\/b><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"210\" align=\"right\" valign=\"top\"><table cellpadding=\"7\" align=\"left\"><tr bg><td><b><hr><br><\/b><p><\/p><hr><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/td><td width=\"300\"><b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<i><\/i><\/b><p><i><\/i><\/p><p><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"210\" align=\"right\" valign=\"top\"><table cellpadding=\"7\" align=\"left\"><tr bg><td><b><hr><br><\/b><p><\/p><hr><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/td><td width=\"300\"><b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/b><p><i><\/i><\/p><ul><\/ul><p><i><\/i><\/p><p><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td width=\"210\" align=\"right\" valign=\"top\"><table cellpadding=\"7\" align=\"left\"><tr bg><td><b><hr><br><i><\/i><br><br><\/b><p><\/p><hr><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/td><td width=\"300\"><b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<i><\/i><i><\/i><\/b><p><i><\/i><\/p><ul><\/ul><p><\/p><p><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td colspan=\"2\"><hr><b><\/b><\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/td><\/tr><\/table>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/html","summary":"Yet Another Round of Anti-Globalization Protests Misreported","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/2001\/09\/kennis_on_genoa.htm","filesize":"25.1 kibibytes","article_url":"\/news\/2001\/09\/9918.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
