31. I still maintain that it is equally newsworthy
There is an important connection between the ineptness of Katrina response on the part of Bush & Co. and this war protest today (which has been planned for some time now). With regard to Rita coverage, a great deal of what I witnessed in the days leading up to landfall included bashing the state of LA government (Dems, women and blacks) and the 'welfare citizens' and revering the Texas GOP (male and white) and 'working citizens' for their 'successful' evacuation (which wasn't all that succesful in reality).

24-7 hurricane MSM new coverage on ALL three cable news channels isn't enough for you? Can we not have more than one news topic? Can we not multitask?

I appreciate your sentiment that this effort will last longer than Bush, although I don't care for your condescending attitude and your little lesson in how I should learn to protest. It's not just one day of lack of coverage. It's been 5 years now, with corporate-owned MSM neglecting a majority of voices.
