Will The Media Cover the 9-12 March On DC Today? What do you think?

I don't necessarily expect live coverage like Fox News is doing from 1:00PM to 3:00PM, just a story. Am I expecting too much? Will your friends and co-workers even know about it by Monday morning? Do the marchers need to wear outrageous costumes like gay marchers, hold up signs in Spanish like pro-illegal immigrant marchers, carry signs to Free Somebody Who Murdered People, or march naked like anti-fur people, to get the media's attention? Those groups get coverage even when marcher numbers are small. Will a newspaper like The Washington Post cover it or use an Associated Press story? It's happening right there in their livingroom.

Apparently, the President thinks its a big deal, he's getting out of town. (I would, too.) But, the march ends at the Capitol, not the White House.

So, what's your guess - a story in the newspaper/on TV or no story at all?

Nice research. It's on the front page of the Post this morning and it hasn't even happened yet. Tens of thousands of Beck-bots are coming, organizers say. Astroturf rules.

Yeah, he's in Minneapolis working on health care. Nice to have a President who takes the job seriously for a change, eh?

FOX "News" has something of a vested interest in the protest.

No mention of the right-to-lifers annual march? Your politics are so hard to figure out!

I'd love to see a link to a reputable source (i.e., not FOX) that connects the President's trip to Minnesota today with a need to get out of town for any reason today.

How does the media cover anything? It will sensationalize, propagandize and fine the most extreme possible examples and show them over and over and over and over, then put up a couple of talking pinheads who struggled in community college to tell the American people how they should feel about it. Then they will show that footage over and over and over again.

In the room behind the screen they will count the endless piles of money they make off of the frothing at the mouth loonies while they discuss which politician they will either elevate or denounce in tomorrow broadcast.

Too cynical?
