Why wasn't Friday's pro-mosque rally in NYC big news?

[spanone]

you haven't heard about it, you're not alone. But note this nugget buried in an AP report late last night :

More than 2,000 supporters of the project, waving candles and American flags, held a vigil near the proposed Islamic center's site Friday evening instead of Saturday, saying they wanted to avoid entangling the mosque controversy and the Sept. 11 observance.

3. Because the corporation right wing super millionaire media controlling

propaganda machine specializes in scapegoating.

Just like the Fascists of the 20th century.

5. Damn that fucking "liberal media" (sarcasm)

We know they only cover liberal events and the socialist agenda and completely ignore Conservative views, and the right wings desire to "restore" America (More sarcasm). Isn't that what these filthy, ignorant, hate-filled, racist conservative "christian" fucks are always pissing,crying and moaning about.
We all know that the liberal media,and all liberals and progressives hate America, and that Fox News is our only salvation. ( Yet more sarcasm).

you cannot make choices if you don't have all the information....our media robs us of information
