1. Sorry. We only cover (and inflate) tea party events.

3. well, it was a great gathering, How could the MSM ignore thousands
of people on the Mall? If it was tea baggers they would cover it, but Save the Earth--no, we can't be bothered with that old planet thingy.

10. the real danger to this country isn't the teabaggers, it's the media deciding what our news is.

5. I wish you did,too. And thousands of others. Somehow thousands of people
knew about it because they were at the Mall. It was totally packed. I wish I had thought to post it earlier, but I was engrossed in watching it.

8. I saw coverage about it
I don't think the MSM ignored it. Plus, it's been an annual event for 40 years. So, not so new, whereas the Tea Party protests are a relatively new thing.

9. Tea party events are made to look bigger than they are.
and it's not just Fox who are guilty of pumping their events up. Next time you see coverage of one notice how the videos almost only show "tight" shots. Many of these events are very small, yet descriptions always say "thousands". I guess, technically, two thousand is " thousands". But you won't see many wide shots and certainly no aerial shots.

6. To most people if the MSM doesn't cover it it doesn't exist.
Most people's "reality" is almost completely a creation of the MSM, it has no connection with actual reality. A collective mass delusion created for the interests of the Elites.

Why do you think our side's protests are always ignored while a couple hundred Teabaggers are national news?
