This video, called "Fuck the Corporate Media," is from the Portland Independent Media Center. Once you get past the fact that it's narrated by a girl with a bandanna covering her mouth, it's not too objectionally radical. Really it's just a comparison of how the local news (KATU) covered demonstrations and protests during a Bush visit to Oregon compared with home videos taken of the same events. Where the news media continually brought up violence and anarchy, the home videos of the exact same coverage reveal the crowd to be rather benign.

I'm not sure I'd agree with some of their conclusions, but at least it shows the need for alternate media angles and news coverage.

The torrent is here.
