Mellon Scaife's paper-The Tribune Review, sponsored 100 people attending Beck rally.
There is no even trying to hide their bias's anymore and the shame of it is, many of their readers don't understand how they are being fed misinformation and propaganda.

The info appear towards the very end of the article. And, if you are inclined to challenge the attendance numbers stated in the piece, that would be great.

1. I love this part...
"This rally was intended to honor the troops, unite the American people under the principles of integrity and truth, and to make a pledge to restore honor within ourselves and our country. We as an organization wanted to give our readers an opportunity to participate," said Lindsay Berdell, director of promotions and community relations for Trib Total Media.

Oh, and 500,000? So we go from "ten of thousands to 100" and now half a million? That's catapulting the propaganda, eh? What a load of crap.

It was bad enough that the Post Gazette's Sunday edition had pictures of these misguided fools above the fold with their extra large shirts reading, "Got Tea?" Meanwhile, the anti-war march which WAS well above 500 thousand had almost NO press even from the Post Gazette.

Without a doubt, the billionaires who bankroll this shit have been outed here: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/29/opinion/29rich.html?_r=1&hp

Got Disgust? You betcha...
