If 3000 attended an anti-Bush march it would make headlines.

If marches and demonstrations occur in support of liberal causes, then the MSM is all over the story. If they are supporting conservative causes, the MSM will minimize the numbers and minimize the news coverage. And in the worst case, they won’t cover at all, and pretend that nothing happened.

You can drop 3 zeros from that number and dress them in clown outfits - CNN/CNBC would somberly be covering the "vigorous protests".

The people who attended know how many were there. Those who attended will be voting in November and, then, the media will no longer be able to ignore them.

If the cause warrants ‘social justice’, or anti-(USA)war then MSM is front and center with wall to wall coverage.

As much as the left complain about ‘right wing FOX, The media can no longer hide their favoritism and support toward progressive issues.

There was an anti-gun rally at a gun show at Sharonville Convention Center, Cincinnati suburb, and there were 5 people doing the protest (and two of them were teenagers, or preteens), and guess what....they got Big time, live T.V. coverage and newspaper coverage / publicity! Five people!

It’s OK. They ALL saw it. It was too big for them not to. They didn’t report on it but...we don’t need them to. A lot of people were watching (including God)...so press on towards that goal of saving the lives of babies before they are murdered. You WILL be rewarded and God help those who condone this horror.

That does not surprise me at all. I think I remember a Freedom Concert or a Rush? event in the DFW area where the huge crowd inside merited no attention except the report about the few protesters outside.

They cannot pretend not to be biased anymore.

You reminded me of what the late pro-life hero, Congressman Henry Hyde said:

“When the time comes, as it surely will, when we face that awesome moment, the final judgment, I’ve often thought, as Fulton Sheen wrote, that it is a terrible moment of loneliness. You have no advocates, you are there alone standing before God — and a terror will rip your soul like nothing you can imagine. But I really think that those in the pro-life movement will not be alone. I think there’ll be a chorus of voices that have never been heard in this world but are heard beautifully and clearly in the next world — and they will plead for everyone who has been in this movement. They will say to God, ‘Spare him, because he loved us!’”

The Lord takes note ...

PSALM 33

13 From heaven the LORD looks down
and sees all mankind;

14 from his dwelling place he watches
all who live on earth-

15 he who forms the hearts of all,
who considers everything they do.

16 No king is saved by the size of his army;
no warrior escapes by his great strength.

17 A horse is a vain hope for deliverance;
despite all its great strength it cannot save.

18 But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him,
on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,

19 to deliver them from death
and keep them alive in famine.

20 We wait in hope for the LORD;
he is our help and our shield.

21 In him our hearts rejoice,
for we trust in his holy name.

22 May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD,
even as we put our hope in you.

Thank You, Lord, for all those who love the unborn as you do. Pour out your blessings upon them ... snatch from the pit of hell those who have decimated generations ... reach into their hearts that they might know forgiveness, for You are not willing that any should perish. Amen ...

American journalists/reporters/media display their ugly bias yet again.

After not going in about 6 or 7 yrs. I went this year and couldn’t believe the large crowd and heard that there were over 300,000 people there. It was nice to see so many young people there (our next generation of pro-life activists). Notice there were no riots, no garbage after the event and the local stores weren’t robbed as in other events held in DC by other groups including the inauguration...

Did any other freepers go? Can you post some pictures? We used to meet at a monument when the MFL was at the ellipse, now the March starts at a different location at 7th and Constitution.

here's another MFL thread I just found.

Pro-life marchers flood D.C. in protest of legalized abortion (another MSM blackout)
