Why so little media coverage of the protest? Simple...

[Silverhair]

It didn't bleed. Media coverage is about ratings, then to inform - if that happens. The administration knew that by keeping things cool they would also keep them boring. No Chicago of '68 for them.

It didn't bleed, so it didn't lead. And Joe public saw just enough to think, "Same old crowd." and reach for the remote, or get up for a beer.

1. You got that right, Silver...

...all day long. CSPAN had the ANSWER stage, half the time it doesn't look like there are 300 people there.

CNN is "all RITA, All the time". The other stations, forget about it!

No one covered the March.

I went straight to the internet to get the scoop but there are still a lot of people out there who aren't there yet. They have no idea what happened today.

Hard to compete with a hurricane.

3. Did they cover the Pentagon Happy War Rally?

4. One word

Rita.

[countmyvote4real]

5. It was hardly mentioned unless you sought it out elsewhere.

Is there any MSM coverage of the Amtrack and DC Metro shut down? Of course not. Rest assured that the * government works against the will of the people, otherwise we'd have verifiable paper trail voting by now.

6. we have to do everything for them

:shrug:

[Mr_Spock]

7. We agreed here yesterday that Rita would distract from coverage

Can't control the damned weather. Just some bad luck there...

[Lars39]

8. That doesn't explain C-Span not covering the march itself.
