The One Nation rally on Saturday didn’t receive the kind of media coverage that they deserved according to one observer from the left.

Although the Right continues to spread the myth that media is biased against conservatives, the truth was obvious again today as the media ignored the progressive One Nation rally. This is a pattern that has become apparent over and over again. White conservatives captivate the media, while the diverse progressive Left is invisible.
Even though tens of thousands of people showed up at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. today to support progressive ideas, the media was mostly absent. CNN did some cut ins and most egregiously, even the so called, “liberal news network” MSNBC could not be bothered to provide more than scant limited coverage of an hour or so to the event, but I guess MSNBC viewers should be happy that the network managed to rip itself away from its Lockdown reruns long enough to actually cover a bit of live news.
The pro-conservative bias in the media was most obvious today by the print media framed the rally. For instance, let’s compare how CNN’s wire service described both the One Nation and the Beck rallies.
The CNN story on Beck’s rally began with, “Conservative commentator Glenn Beck says his revival-style rally at the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday was about restoring America’s honor and returning the country to the values on which it was founded. Tens of thousands of people showed up for the event, which also featured former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.”
Here is the beginning of the story they wrote for the One Nation rally, “With one month to go until the November elections, the country’s liberal wing is holding their own rally on the nation’s capitol...

Yeah, there were tens of hundreds there.
Do they really want widespread pub for all their socialism signs?
I will give them credit - they do know how to spell “socialism”!
The crowd was on his feet!
It was a VAST right wing conspiracy that kept all of the Commies off of the mall for their March to Marxism event,
don’tcha know?
Geez you can’t tell news from satire anymore
The reason this was not reported was THEY WERE TOO EMBARASSED!!
“The crowd was on his feet!”
They were gonna do the wave but one of them was lying down and didn’t want to get up ... union guy on a break.
Obama spoke. He said, “I would rather be here than with the finest people on earth”. LOL
This post should have had a barf alert!
They ought to be thanking their lucky stars that there was little or no coverage.
Tens of dozens, godzillions of them. We ran out of fingers and toes there were so many to count.

There were two kinds of trash at the “rally”: human debris & their discarded signs, refuse and so forth. This “We Are Proud Losers” rally was a dismal failure. Bwahahahahaha!

Welllll ... sometimes he tells the truth, I guess. He was probably standing there thinking ‘Damn, why can’t they be the guys that were here in that last rally?”
When Stewart and Colbert and their minions descend upon DC, we’ll be hearing about it for weeks before and after. Well, maybe not weeks after, because Election Day will take the steam out of that.
You are correct, I don’t think the MSM wanted it to be known what a bunch of Socialists/Marxists the Dems. are.
It might hurt their chances for re-election.
The media was pro-Left. They were just too embarrassed at the low turn-out to give it coverage.
That’s her!!!
