It does not matter how many are at the protest
15k or 2mil, makes zero difference. The problem that has to be overcome is the perception the media gives. How many protests were there with many times more people during the bush years? How much news coverage did they get? The media is covering this as though there were 2mil people there regardless of the actual numbers. They are making it sound as though the entire country is rising up against health care reform. Do they mention this is a group of f'ing nut-jobs from birthers to birchers? No, they are describing it as a conservative groundswell when it is really a bunch of useful idiots for the corporations. It is bullshit and simply yet another concerted effort by our right wing media to push the corporate agenda onto us.
