On the news in El Mirage!

Edited on Mon Aug-29-05 02:22 PM by Wheezy

AZ news channel showed coverage of some protesters and signs, and said "Three hundred, maybe more" anti-war protestors. Woo hoo! Some short interviews as well. No mention of any pro-war protestors. Said they'd have more news coverage on it on Good Evening Arizona. Nicely done!

CBS news 5 had nothing on the noon news about protestors x( Unless I missed it, flipping channels.

Local Fox News 10 didn't cover the protesters at noon either. The focus is all hurricane today, and more on what ** said about Katrina than about his 'big sell' on prescription coverage (seniors have to fill out a 4-page form to sign up ??? You could see the collective sighs on camera). Oh, my favorite quote of his speech which one news channel played *snicker*: "You'll cut your prescription bills in half by 50 per cent!"

(edited to update other mid-day newscasts)

5. Keep watching 24-hour AZ News Channel (it's ch. 14 here in Mesa)

They are looping the coverage, and they have the most coverage of the protestors.

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Way to go, DU!!

Almost ALL anti-Bush. There were only very few pro-Bush supporters.
The ones who were there were polite. The police treated us well, too.

8. I swear he said that 6 or 7 times at least.

He also said (for those of you playing the * stupid quote game at home) "It'll cut your prescription bill in half by fifty per cent!" (not verbatim)
