50萬人齊聚紐約抗議共和黨大會的行動，在到處送獎學金的東森新聞裡，近三分鐘的報導，只看到記者與主播很努力的介紹共和黨大會提供的記者特級服務：從剪指甲到美容按摩應有盡有的服務中心。

之前，美國民主黨全國大會邀請blogger採訪，首開blogger進入正式的媒體報導場域。這回紐約的共和黨大會，包含了 indymedia.org, big anti-war rally, critical mass都不請自來了。BoingBoing這個以趣味為主曾得過大賞的blog，都有非常即時的故事，SmartBob也介紹了一個抗議行動的moblog。

破報英文版的寫手gotmahmojo，也特定去紐約參與抗議行動，並有即時報導，見RCN part 1, RCN part2。這算是台灣blogger的代表吧。

英文為主的網路上一片RCN, indymedia不需說了，除此之外，Joi Ito也說了不少話。

indymedia.org A29的報導

Today in New York City, 500,000 people marched in solidarity with the rest of the world, denouncing policies of the U.S. government from every possible angle. After a 6-hour long march, protesters did not just pack up their signs and go home. Various autonomous contingents sprawled out across the city, doing everything from a "kick the heads of state" soccer game in Central Park, to jail solidarity demonstrations for those arrested, to a relentless verbal assault campaign on Republican delegates trying to hide out in Broadway theaters. "Republican scum! Your time has come!" was a chant that could be heard up and down the avenues this afternoon.
