I watched the NYC march and the stream of people walking by with their signs, etc and I enjoy that. It appears, so far, that LinkTV and FSTV are showing the rally, or Goodman/Flanders talking but not the march itself.

2. It was intentional to downplay the truth

This march is so much more than the militant voices at ANSWER, and that is the story the mainstream media doesn't want Americans to hear.

ANSWER is used to Willie Hortonize the anti-war movement by giving it a militant angry largely minority face. We all know they are one of many voices. And those voices cross the political left demographically.

Today it is the majority liberal voice (largely white and middleclass)which is being made invisible.

4. Same old song & dance stuff............
Thats all CSPAN continued to show, the endless yacking on a stage with an empty field. Don't people know enough to shut up. I am afraid your losing people because you allow the shotgun scatter blast of things not presently related to the purpose of the march. It seemed like an endless parade of individuals that have various other adgendas. It very disappointing to see them take over and rant about entirely differnet issues than the task at hand. Now you know why some people think Liberals wear tin-foil hats. That is what will be played up by the Repugs.

I heard lots of stuff that just doesn't fit the day. Where were the main stream Democratic Liberal Progressive people? What little I saw of the march came from various photo blogs, at least that was heartening.
