The first story on the news tonight was about the S11 protestors. I watched the entire thing, and then laughed out loud for one very simple reason.

The reason for the protest was not mentioned even once. Not even eluded to.

They mentioned the brutality of the police, the violence and complaints of the protestors, but not the reason for the whole thing.

I imagine the protest organisers (gung-ho students... I probably go to university with them) sitting back tonight going: "Number one story! All right!!" But their protest is getting the publicity, not their cause.
