American media wallows in grief after WTO summit

Article Abstract:

Mainstream US media missed the point of protests directed at the World Trade Organization's (WTO) Nov 1999 conference in Seattle, WA. Many influential journalists are biased by their prosperity, ignore the WTO's anti-democratic nature, and took little opportunity for protesters to state their case.
