Abby Martin sures looks good in this video. I think, anyway. She's from Oakland CA. It's interesting how media outlets like Russia Today and Press TV give opportunities to people who could never get jobs in the Western corporate media, since they are not sufficiently pro-war and pro-imperialism.

Abby is half Latina, and speaks Spanish. She even has a nice voice (except, Abby, the Spanish police formed a perimeter around the building, not a "parameter").

Regarding differences between the corporate media's treatment of foreign protests versus domestic ones, the corporate media will only comment on a domestic issue if the media can twist it to serve the One Percent. If the media cannot twist an issue, then the media does not mention the issue at all.

By the way, that lead-in to the video is great. I'm fairly sure that Ms. Martin did it herself. She enjoys making videos and creative graphics.
