Every year when the G8 etc would meet, the press gave huge coverage to the over the topic antics of protesters.
Not so much this year.

“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

Probably because the G8 meeting was in L’Aquila, which is still recovering from the earthquake earlier this year. Goofy protests in a region where so many were killed? Not good publicity.
Actually, I’m surprised that the summit wasn’t moved from L’Aquila after the earthquake. Must have been one tough building they held it in.
But I will be happy to stand corrected if someone has better information.
I’ll be living in Pittsburgh this autumn, and I’ve been assured that there will be some crazy protesters for the G20 summit.
The summit was to be held in Rome and was moved to L’Aquila AFTER the earthquake by Mr Berlusconi.
Those protesters are nearly always communist Starbucks window smashers. Since we now have a Marxist (unConstitutional, he has yet to produce a birth certificate) “president”, they won’t want to make him look bad.
I don’t expect anything from the MSM that would make anyone think that there is any hint of disunity among the masses with the Obammunist and his, ahem, “economic policies”.
Perhaps because Bush was not there…They all literally “hated” the man, and the media was more than happy to focus on that.
Good point father – quick search turns up one surprising source detailing thousands of protesters this year.
