Media Bias in Images ...

I often talk of media bias on this blog, but this is a perfect example of that predilection at play: Washington Post. The story from the Washington Post includes an image of a crazy looking protester with a burning car in the background. There is a long tradition of treating protesters as marginal, insane figures, but this has only become more common in recent years. Luckily the internet has the power to challenge the mainstream media's visual and linguistic framing of those seeking change.
