(81,896 posts)My husband and I didn't see any until we went to see "Fahrenheit 911." And we were appalled and disgusted and quite outraged. We talked about it on the way out of the theater - "did you remember seeing any of that coverage on the 'Nightly News' - or any other newscast?" Michael Moore retrieved it from various cutting room floors. There was such a huge protest during the "inaugural" parade in 2001 that it literally stopped the bush/cheney motorcade in the middle of the street. Their limo could not proceed because there were too many people in the street. Little bushy-boy had to be snuck in the back door of the White House to get inside.
And no. There was NOTHING about that on the news. Everything was "la la la la la la la! Never is heard a discouraging word! Nothing to see here! A fun time was had by all! Move along, everybody! And now a word from our sponsor!"
