I was in a hurry, but I see now what you seem to think. for the moment

I wanted to relate a short BBC news bit where they put a camerman behind a camerman and showed, truthfully for once, how those demonstrations really were.

While the first camera showed a street crowded with arabs yelling the usual death to Israel, US, etc., the second, zoomed out, showed a tight wedge of people in front of the first camera while the rest of the street was 90% empty and other people were carrying their groceries home not giving a damn about, and probably accustomed to the commotion.

I noticed other "demonstrations" where CNN started its footage a little early during the intro and you see empty street for a second and then people rushing into the camera's view for the standard "mass protest" of a dozen or so people.

It's all completely worthless for an accurate portrayal of the reality over there, but the media is seldom concerned with the unbiased truth.
