It is now 6:30pm on the east coast. Throughout the day, I kept checking the news releases to see how the msm was covering this event. There was NOTHING! Total silence! The only stories were from local newspapers naming local groups that would be marching today. This is beyond shocking!

[Huber]

Lots of young people there. Surprisingly, while Catholic groups were highly visible, evangelicals were less visible. Rough estimate of attendance was about 75,000. Only saw about 10 pro abortion types, all of whom were ill prepared to engage the undersigned in reasoned debate.

It’s on C-Span 2 right now. Lots of young people, terrific!

Is Nellie Gray okay after her fall on the podium? I haven’t found anything on the ‘net yet.

Hey, hey, ho, ho, Roe v. Wade as got to go!

It was probably Rabbi Shmuley, but I was way in back of the stage... sounded like him.

Just got back, pics later.

I checked the newspaper coverage of the March For Life on the day after the March on the internet.I saw no coverage in the NY Times,NY POST,NY Daily News,NY Sun,Wall Steet Journal and the Washington Post.It was covered in the Washington Times.Our news coverage is getting more like Pravda in the old Soviet Union.

I'm emailing FOX news at the moment, for what little it's worth.

Please let me know what response, if any, you receive.

Have you heard anything about Nellie Gray today?

[fetal heart beats by 21st day]

You really should plan on attending next year. It is really inspiring-especially when you realize that at least half the crowd is under twenty.

[ArrogantBustard]

They blow the Shofar every year. You can hear it from several blocks away. Sounds like a foghorn.

Sounds like a foghorn.

I couldn't resist ;-)

I think it was a concerted plan by the MSM not to cover the march,

Same stuff, different year.

We don't exist; just ask the MSM.

I've been down there more than 20 times.

When Calypso Louie got a couple hundred thousand folks to show up for his "million Man March", the local media kissed his as feet for over week before, and several days after.

We generate that kind of crowd every friggin' year.

We aren't news.

MSM are liars, all the time, about everything.

It was on page A-3 of the Washington Post. It was actually a pretty good story.
