Oi Given Restart By Noda, Large Protests Mostly Ignored
In many portions of the English speaking media, Noda is being praised for “doing the right thing” for Japan. At the same time an 11,000 people protest in the middle of a work day has been mostly ignored by both the Japanese and foreign media.
Both EX-SKF and Fukushima Diary are reporting on the large Friday protest via citizen accounts and independent media.

Time gives it split coverage between opposition and Noda’s claims this is needed.

MSNBC at least admits the Friday protest but again repeats the govt. line that the restarts are needed to avert blackouts

Only MSNBC so far has admitted that the restarts are a handout to the nuclear industry, the core reason for the restarts.
