I forget whether it was CSPAN or MSNBC.

There was one weird part where Farrakhan was talking about how some folks thought he had something to do with assassinating someone. It seemed like an odd thing to talk about at such an event.

With the dogs barking, I kept missing a lot. (My dogs, not dogs on TV.)

How bout this one:

sickening. ....no lead up , live feed or mention what so ever .

and Caitlyn Jenner.

Anything to avoid a positive portrayal of non-whites.

particularly on Melissa Harris Perry. However, they also spent twice as much time on Donald Trump except on MHP to her credit.

something bad would happen. But this they won't cover.

I thought they were talking about the original million man march...I don't have tv, so I rely on the internet.

Glad I did. The MSM is pure crap, drivel and propaganda now. They can't be trusted for anything. Plus once you've seen the same clip of terrorists trying to jump over a wooden horse 10,000 times on CNN, it kinda loses it's flavor. I look to alternative sources for real news these days.

Who have their TVs on - just left friends house - was there for hours - went through 4 -6 channels. All of us seeing little to nothing on this march compared to online. It's amazing - and not in a good way.

No TV in my house. Can't stand it - for the same reasons you mentioned. IMO it's a total waste of money.

ByTheWay - Welcome to DU!!

using that 20 year old picture. What's up with that?

Utterly bizarre. Image search says this is from 95.

you shake things up great enough where they can't ignore you. Then they will paint you however they want to.

They had to give Trump his free coverage.

Fugg 'em!

that picture is very old

here ya go

Are there any from today?

Media is very lazy..and fly overs are more restricted these days..maybe no one got permission to do a new aerial shot

I had actually checked back to my OP and about 4 people had posted comments--then I went to prepare supper for my 90 yr mom who does not move around much anymore and I came back and found this. Unbelieveable--just over and hour by my estimate. I really did not know it was an old pic--although admit I was surprised by the large crowd.

On Sat Oct 10, 2015, 05:25 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Stunning imagery coming out of the #MillionManMarch today. Absolutely awesome.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027250408

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This pic is from 1995. The OP was informed of this an hour ago and others have since asked for the p ost to be removed. The OP posted in another thread 20 minutes ago, so s/he is on line and aware of the problem. Originally intended, or not, it's now knowingly deceiving DU.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Sat Oct 10, 2015, 05:42 PM, and voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Don't think there is a limit on photos posted on DU, we have had many photos posted which are older. Alerted is much too sensitive.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The post isn't rude or offensive. If it's inaccurate, the alerter can say so, as others have. This is NOT a reason to alert. It is an opportunity for educating.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: The alerter convinced me. After looking at the pattern of banners in the audience in Muriel_Volestrangler's post, it's very clear that this is an old photo. The poster should repost either without a photo, or with an actual photo from today.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Since the OP is aware but has not corrected this I must agree with the alerter

Your icon rather than which March picture you used.

It was a terrible hide, one that is very hard to understand at face value.

There's nothing in the comments from the alerter, or any juror, that would indicate an avatar was a reason to hide.

Btw, the ata question was answered. http://www.democraticunderground.com/12598862

with a question in ATA. This doesn't seem right to me at all.

Since when do posts get hides because of mistakes or misinformation?

On the left-side column, the link is right after the DU Lounge.

Didn't realize the other one was old. New one is from here: http://6abc.com/society/black-men-call-for-change-at-million-man-march-anniversary/1026540/

I'm still hearing there was little television media coverage.

The media would have been all over the protest and might have had to cover the actual event too..

they all covered the 20 gun nuts protesting Obama in Oregon.

IntereSTINK what they choose to cover, eh?

in Oregon were in incredibly poor taste. However, because of the recent ahootings in Oregon and the fact that the president was there and their were protesting his visit makes it newsworthy, if only to ridicule their actions.

the masses in Washington were not.

BTW, there are a handful of protesters everywhere the President goes.

I suspect the 7 or so "don't tread on me" gun nuts who came out to bargle at Obama in Roseburg got more coverage. Odd, no?

I remember marching with 1.2 Million other people in DC in 2004, for reproductive choice. The media pretended it wasn't happening, spent all day talking about Estee Lauder and scouting NASCAR races to find Bush voters to interview.

Third story, top of the page. I don't know if their TV channel did or not. Often, if it's on their page, then it was on TV, too, in some form.

Please check your local station.

It may also be available at the CSPAN website.

just a couple hours ago. It was a national radio network news broadcast. I have not watched TV news today.

...and the main news channels managed to cover that.

there are more portapotties in attendance than actual people, the MSM will cover their event for days. Have "experts" on the TEE VEE to talk about how this is a true grassroots movement (like these amoebas would be able to recognize a real grassroots movement).

For M$M. :

with a Google News search. It was much smaller than the original, 20 years ago, and the photos you posted don't reflect this year's turnout. I had no trouble finding stories on this year's march, though.
