Now, here is a description of protests that took place in London from the CNN article: "The crowd dismantled barriers placed in front of the embassy and began pelting officers with sticks, rocks and pieces of the metal barriers". Accompanying the article is a picture of a man swinging a club at a policeman's horse. This is very violent activity overall and resulted in several arrests and the injury of a police officer. So, how was it reported?
CNN - London protests against Gaza conflict grows unruly
FoxNews - Gaza conflict protests in Europe turn violent
USAToday - Europe, Lebanon protest violence
Guardian - Tens of thousands join London Gaza protests
Washington Post - Gaza violence protested
Los Angeles Times and Washington Times - I actually couldn't find this reported. It probably was, it just wasnt't easy to find
So, based solely on headlines, you'd think that CNN was reporting on a little scuffle, that FoxNews and USAToday were reporting on a protest turned violent, that the Guardian in London and the Washington Post were simply reporting that protests took place, and if you read the Washington Times and L.A. Times, you probably didn't even know it took place. Now, any doubters about biased reporting in the media?
