1. The authors see the use of violence as the most significant part about the "Battle in Seattle." They discuss how the protestors intended the protest to be nonviolent, though the organizers expected violence from the police. The nonviolent protestors elicited the same violent response from the police as anarchists did.
2. The data that is used to make their argument is the media coverage of the protest, explicitly TV news coverage such as CNN, ABC, and CBS.
3. This data that is being used in this case study is an effective use of logos, making the data points made effective. However, because this is only reflecting one situation, it may not be legitimate.
4. The sections main point is on how media's framing of protest causes for the presentation of the protest to be distorted. It also highlights how people get their news threw their television screens, which highlights how people's opinions regarding protests can be so easily changed. News is brought to the people, leaving them with a second-hand account of what actually happened.
5. We all agree with their argument. Media has the tendency to warp many events that is covered, and protest does not escape this trend. News media sometimes amplifies the scene, causing somethings to look extremely different. The intention of the protest gets distorted. However, news media has become one of the only ways to get crucial information about events.
