Have you noticed? Leading up to the march on DC on 9/15,
not a whisper from the MSM. And only a slanted mention during and after.

OTOH, today we have the march on Jena. The MSM, especially CNN, just can't build it up enough. They're actually saying the word "protest".

I'm confused. No mention of DC, but shouting Jena to the fours winds.

What gives?

1. Shiny objects.
Only in Bewshmerica can you conveniently ignore 100,000 people marching down PA Avenue in a protest by and large ignored by all mainstream media outlets leading up to it.

Only in Bewshmerica can you not care about thousands gathered at the Capital for a civilized protest against their government.

Only in Bewshmerica can you read blatant lies about there being more pro-war demonstrators than anti-war.

Only in Bewshmerica does a relic from the 90s like OJ get more attention than war crimes.

5. And it's not like the media weren't at the protest
They were everywhere. The press truck kept holding us up. Was it all foreign press?

There were a few clips on CNN but not very much.
