The One Nation Rally- Further Coverage
Well, here's a picture of the liberal Washington rally held yesterday, from Dave Niewert at Crook and Liars, who has provided the best coverage of the event that I have seen:
I've been trying to keep up with whatever coverage our "liberal" media provide for this event, but again, Niewert pretty well lays it out:
Now, of course Glenn Beck's massively promoted and funded honkyfest, which drew far fewer people, was rewarded with endless coverage. This is the rigged political system in which Democrats have had to function for fifty years, and which was made magnitudes worse by Reagan's deregulation of the press. It is no wonder, sad to say, that it is a miracle when they manage to win even a partial victory, as in the recent health care bill or in financial re-regulation.

"CNN barely covered it at all. Of course, Fox carried nary a word of it. None of the major networks -- CBS, NBC, ABC or Fox -- even bothered to report on it. And over at the WaPo, the story reported only "tens of thousands" attended -- when in fact the numbers clearly exceeded 100,000"
I've noticed this morning that neither of the two newspapers I follow- the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times- thought it was much of a story.
