1. Amazing how times turn the media
Edited on Sat Jan-27-07 10:49 AM by thecrow
Last march, they didn't give much coverage at all and their pictures were close ups that didn't show the huge turnout at all.
We must've gotten to them..... somehow

OnEdit: I SO want to be there today but my ride bailed and my leg, which is bad on a good day, couldn't survive in the chill today. I advised my son (who IS in DC today :) to shout my name out loud stating that I am there in spirit.
PEACE!!!!!

2. They are going out of their way to show the other side
They mentioned that the 'pro-war rally' is sponsered by FreeRepublic. The guy interviewing the Dad & sister of the soldier in Iraq was basically trying to get them to apoligize for their actions.

3. I won't hold my breath. I doubt their coverage will amount to much
In fact, the media has covered very little protests that have occurred against this administration. I will be surprised if the coverage is anything but superficial

4. They just announced live report coming up.
I think it will be in the 11:00 a.m. Eastern time period.

6. I think your take is going to be right.
MSNBC is doing some coverage, too, but seems mostly to be talking about how there are not "hundreds of thousands" of people there.
