I would like to see a write up story about what the photo is about or some coverage where it was taken

The man on the bullhorn is a spokesperson for Billionaires for Bush, to the right of him is the radio personality Howard Sperm.
Thursday Sept. 21st NAB Convention, S.F.Ca: Day two of the events at the Moscone Center wrapped up with some parties and a
labor forum. At 8:30 am, a crowd of about 150 drew to the front of the Convention Center to welcome the NAB members once again.
The protest was focused around a mock convention with parody players acting out characters such as Howard Sternum, Lolly Mays,
Eddie Fritz and other mock media icons. There was also an address by Media Alliance's Andrea Buffa.
The show of police force was very apparent as there were at least a dozen or so police vehicles and motorcycles showing their
presence. Protesters were told to stay confined behind a barricade and not to cross the barricade to approach anyone. It was fine for
the convention attendees to freely approach the vocal crowd. Several people were confronted for interviews and all of them either had
no comment or played as if they didn't know about why they were being protested. There were no incidents, and the crowd dispersed
peacefully to plan other events.

Later that evening a forum was held by the Labor Action Committee with a panel of speakers who talked about the media and labor
related issues.
