Sure, MSM reports that "protesters" get hassled or arrested. But since dissent is one of key rights as Americans, it is better reporting to add details about who is protesting, and what their issues are. Code Pink's complaints are detailed and nuanced, and challenge simple knee-jerk responses. Thanks to Womenews for doing this longer story on just what these women were protesting about.

The back-to-back Democratic and Republican conventions have provided Code Pink activists a chance to showcase their particular brand of daring and endurance.

During both gatherings they have held two or three rallies, protests and mock events each of the four convention days and participated in others' protests as well.
