The media's minute by minute coverage of a tiny weeny protest.
Edited on Sun May-17-09 01:10 PM by Joanne98
And we all know how the media IGNORES protests. They ignore BIG protests with MILLIONS OF PEOPLE but when less than 100 pro-lifers protest it's the most important thing in the world.

I hope Media Matters has been recording this. It's the most news coverage a NON protest ever got.

I can't wait for the day when ALL the big media companies go the way of the newspapers!

3. Come on you know that if its under 100 old people its a protest
if its over 100 people its no longer a protest, its a riot and must have NG and police put it down by any means available. It's what republicons have been doing since 1968 and the media backed them up 100%. The 68 police riot at the DNC convention? Kent State? Ring any bells? Or if its a bunch of anti choice disrupter's the media labels them as pro life and it becomes a legal protest. If you had been watching TV news and reading papers in 68 you'd realize the game and yes even in 68 the news media were on the republicon side, just not as in your face as they are today.
