The mainstream media has long asserted that there is no such thing as a “liberal bias” when it comes to their coverage. This is an absurd statement. It is every bit as absurd as the Fox News Channel’s “Fair and Balanced” slogan. Let’s get real. All media is biased. Front page news for today is another example of this bias. Virtually no one is covering today’s planned conservative protest rally in D.C.
Today, in Washington D.C. thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, maybe more, angry, frustrated, mad-as-hell conservatives are gathering to rally against government waste, government intrusion into private lives, the current perceived move toward Socialism, over-taxation, you name it.
Sounds like a pretty big deal right now, doesn’t it?

We ought to flood all of the MSM website comment pages with comments and questions about the march. How about using Twitter to tweet MSM reporters such as Tapper who use it extensively?
Boy, this Mr. Winder is a real genius! /s
The end of the story has a nice plug for FreeRepublic.
WaPo Presents 9-12 Event as GOP Danger, Full of 'Right-Wing Nutballs' and 'Freaks'
When we lived in the SF Bay Area, I went through a period where I listened to the All-news station. After a while the coverage of every “demonstration” got very tiring. Three people on a street corner with a sign was a demonstration.....

Use your own filter. If you’re a liberal, seek the liberal stuff – or just keep the TV on. If you’re a conservative, look for the conservative news on FreeRepublic.com, or here at The Cypress Times. We admit our bias. We display it in our Masthead: Christian. Conservative. Online. Daily News. We’re honest about it, as are most of the information and news sources you find on the internet.
I touring in Washington DC on a weekend 2 years ago and watched CNN herd a small motley crew of anti-Bush vermin into a group.
CNN then set their cameras to make it look like there was a vast crowd.
If the camera had panned 5 degrees up, you would have seen the vast emptiness of the Mall on a Sunday afternoon, with a much larger group of pro-Bush counter protestors kept in distance by the Capital Police.
I realized then that CNN totally fakes the news.
I’m furious. Where’s CSPAN? I’m switching everywhere and just getting snippets of coverage. I want to see the whole thing. BTW MSNBC was shocked at the crowd numbers.
MSNBC panelists (Dems) using the statements coming from the Repubs own months (McCain’s advisor), these are a bunch of right wing nut jobs! Thank you McPain and all RINOS!
I was FURIOUS when I heard that.
You can bet your life that the media will make sure the uninformed never even hear about this event.
(But Woodstock...now THAT was big.)
I found it very interesting that most of the popular webcams in DC are “offline” today. Hmmm.
But, the traffic cams are up. Look at the crowds by the capitol! http://www.trafficland.com/city/WAS/index.html?campid=0&ssns=14&;
Exactly! Where is C-Spin? They showed all those Anti-War demonstrations every time they had the chance.
Fox has been talked about it a few times today, and they are going all out with it for 3 hours today with Beck.
Good on them then...thanks for the info. When does the Beck thing start, if you know? Guess I’ll have to catch it later...
Thanks for the link there! :D
Make that 1.2 million as of DC police estimates and more comming in. CNN finally decided to say 10s of thousands.
live DC thread Lots of pics on the thread also. Huge crowd, estimate 1.2 million by DC police.
