A new accent on the news - San Francisco nonprofit Link TVs Latin Pulse gives viewers alternative perspectives

“American network television news programs barely covered President Bushs six-day, five-country March tour of Latin America beyond the usual offering of grip-and-grin photos. A few U.S. reports included a flash of the street protests that shadowed the president, yet most provided little analysis of the regions trade issues and growing anti-American sentiment.

The first few seconds of the show “Latin Pulse” make it clear that a different view of Latin American news is in the offering, starting with its take on the Bush visit. Produced at San Francisco nonprofit Link TV network, “Latin Pulse” viewers saw footage of police in intense confrontation with street protesters and heard analysts and activists describe the United States as a “wounded predator” and Bush as “a criminal.”"
