"Workers
hit by lower living standards and record high unemployment staged May Day
protests across Europe on Wednesday, hoping to persuade their governments of
the case for easing austerity measures and boosting growth." Reads the
first paragraph of the online article by Reuters titled: "Thousands rally against European austerity on May
Day", which claims to be the largest European May Day rally ever. Almost
all progressive media and some other international instruments have publicized
these events. Of course, major US media (even some progressive ones) have been
quite about it!
