The demonstrators the MSM downplays
Michelle Malkin

What if tens of thousands of protesters poured into Washington, D.C., exercising their free speech and joining peacefully to participate in public debate? How would the MSM cover them?

If it's tens of thousands of pro-illegal alien marchers, they get front-page, banner headline-plus-multimedia bonanza, panoramic coverage gushing over their ability to "flood the Mall" with "passion" and "pride." Remember? [image]

If it's Cindy Sheehan and her anti-war rabble, they get frenzied breaking-news, gaggle-crammed, hagiographic coverage: [image]

But if it's tens of thousands of pro-life marchers? You'd hardly know they overwhelmed the National Mall yesterday. The story made A10 in the Washington Post under the blah-blah headline, "Abortion Foes to Renew Efforts."  ...

Make an old dog feel appreciated?
