4. Probably not enough cameras, or not mobile. They seem to have
cameras at rally only. Trained of Ralph right now.

9. Agreed. They have a few cameras, only set up at the rally
Probably the easiest thing for them to do. But if they wanted to do this right, they would be switching to cameras of the people surrounding the White House. THAT's news!

I'm really disappointed in the coverage so far -- maybe they will cover the march later, but so far it looks like this is a medium-sized rally about a whole bunch of stuff, and oh yeah, Iraq.

8. They don't answer their phones on Saturdays, apparently. I called
and left messages, but I doubt it will do anything. Does anyone know anyone at C-SPAN??

5. 250,000 people
A speaker at the rally on C-Span mentioned they have circled the White House and there are more than 250,00 people there! Awesome!!

11. This is ridiculous. I want to see the crowd, a helo shot, with the
Peace rally surrounding the White House. In this day and age with so many media outlets not one freaking TV news station covering a quarter of a million people. This is so bizarre. Don't they think American Citizens want to see what a quarter of a million people are up to in their capital? Bunch of TV news corporate whores.

The first TV news show to give me a helo shot will get my loyalty for life.

12. That might be difficult to pull off
Due to security concerns about terrorist strikes on the White House. If you'll remember, some pilot committed suicide in 1994 by slamming his little propeller plane into the White House at top speed.
