Anybody notice how this got almost zero coverage in the "mainstream" media?

Tens of thousands of people march on the nation's capitol and you have to strain to find the story anywhere but Fox and Drudge.

Don't get me wrong, the decline and upcoming demise of print journalism is very probably a bad thing for democracy--I'm not convinced that bloggers can fulfill the same investigative function as a big organization with lots and lots of resources.  However, the MSM forfeited their credibility so badly in recent years by becoming the propaganda wing of the Democrat party.  So they actually stopped being what they were supposed to be many years ago.

I saw the video of it, and it far exceeded the 70,000 that was reported. That was a shocking rally that I can hardly believe happened. It is good that it did.

The lack of coverage of the protest by my local print media was blatant. Nothing what so ever
on the front page of either one of these rags that in my opinion, aren't fit to line the bottom of
a bird cage. It's disgusting! The mainstream media as usual tries to marginalize anyone who would
have the gall  to disagree with these criminals in Washington and their communist Marxist agenda.

If anything during the last 250 years was newsworthy, this was it. It was a historic occasion.

Saw very little here about it. The media sure sides with osama. POWDERMAN.
