This is a lot like the national news coverage I caught a glimpse of this evening that talked mostly about sheehan's successful protest. They showed footage of the Pro-Bush folks, filmed at a distance great enough that you couldn't read their signs, and implied that everyone being shown was there to support sheehan.

The Pro-Bush ~ Support The Troops rally barely got a mention at the end of the story as a mere after thought, not significant enough to warrant more than a mention.

An earlier poster (waaay back!) said that CNN was showing the counter protests at 20 min after the hour. I (bravely!) went to Headline news and watched it until 10 min before the hour before I finally saw their coverage. I will give them credit, they showed a lot of counter protesters and made it clear that lots of our folks had shown up. While I was waiting, however, I had to endure a segment on the massive support Fidel has in Cuba during his birthday celebration. They showed demonstrations in the streets where Cubans are yelling at known dissidents and shouting support for Fidel. Amazing.
