The local TV news was ridiculous in covering this. They said there was about 2500-3000 protesters outside and about three times that many on the other side of the issue inside Safeco stadium. This is simply a lie. The police said there were about 1500 outside protesting and the reports are 20,000-25,000 inside. I grew up with "new math" but even that poor background can determine that 1500 x 3 is not equal to 20,000-25,000. Furthermore, they only interviewed protesters and the "balanced" portion was to show an exchange between pro and con "debating" outside. They did ZERO to address the topic...but after all, this is Washington and they've already said they would honor any same sex marriages from elsewhere (our laws are too specific to allow the abuse Oregon is getting away with).

I don't know what station my husband was watching, but they gave the whole thing about fifteen seconds, and focused entirely on the pro-gay marriage protesters outside after making mention of what it was they were protesting (they gave an accurate number for those inside - I suppose I should be happy with that).

I have been involved in pro-Bush/Cheney and pro-military rallies around town, and it's always the same story. You'd think the lefties had the greater numbers and most legitimate issues in pretty much every instance of post-event media coverage I've ever seen around here. UGH.

Yes, the media takes their usual jag past the truth. And it makes them look infantile. The Seattle times article today had more math that made you go back and reread the thing to see which side had the numbers.

Gayday for Marriage?!

Perhaps that title (I just made up) is symbolic of what the "lamestream media" would rather report. I'm also skeptical of the reported number of protesters at 1,500.

I purposely video documented the protesters inside the stadium as they paraded thru the corridor, back and forth. After careful analysis, it appeared the parade group numbered no more than 50. Also included were shots of another group of them seated in the section near third base. It seemed that not more than 50 were sat there at any given time - up until they left about 1:30PM. "Fuzzy math" tells me that 50 + 50 + (100 gays in the bathroom?) = "liberal" estimate of 200 in the stadium.

Outside estimate is anyone's guess, from my vantage at the main entrance at the NW corner of the stadium there were about 300 at 2PM. That number shrunk from 300 to no more than 200 at 3PM, which is when the "mass exodus" started. I did not view the other stadium exits, where there may have been many more protesters. However, I would guess the largest group number of protesters would mingle at what I know to be the main entrance at the NW corner.

There were so many creepy looking protesters on the NW corner of the stadium. One dude looked like a lady and a nun and a drag queen conveniently rolled into one queer. And these people are "proud"??? No, I'm not buying that since I believe these broken people are lost and may not find God. Some are so anti-everything related to Jesus that there may not be any hope for them since they probably curse him. One of their signs read, "Baby Jesus was Gay". These people displayed hate on their signs and in the manner and words they used to insult us.

Also, KING 5TV News devoted about 45 seconds to the Mayday for Marriage, however they gave "equal time" to the protesters which took away from the real news...I'm tired of the old news about gays being the victim. Right after that report they spent 38 seconds on the first "Pink Prom" dance in Snohomish county. There was NO opposing viewpoint included. hmmm...looks like us gay-bashing protesters took the day off. LOL

Do you remember the local tv station that reported the 1 to 3 ratio? If you do, I would like to know. I'm writing a report on the biased coverage. BTW, Yeah, that "New Math" that's being pushed can be scary! lol
