The coverage of the anti-war rally by the media this weekend was
absurd. Not only did they coat it with the usual liberal media bias,
but they failed to report what was really going on at the rally.
Besides the ‘so-called’ speakers, yellers, some weird hip hop group, a
really bad 2 girl folk-type musical group that couldn’t sing to save
their lives and some old women’s group, there actually was some
violence and defacing of government property. Where was this on the
cover of the newspaper? Nowhere! Instead, the print and TV media
decided to report that the protest was peaceful. This is a flat out
lie. Now it has come out that during the protest there was a rush on
the capitol building, no doubt by some communists, anarchists and
socialist scum. Police officers were told to stand down. The result:
spray paint everywhere and other damages to the Capitol building. Their
main goal was to get into the Capitol building itself. I suppose the
police were wise enough to stop them once they go to the doors. Capitol
Police Chief Morse stated that the spray paint came off easily and any
other damage was minor. Regardless of how easy this spray paint comes
off, what if it wasn’t spray paint but some sort of explosive? Do the
police think that all protesters are law abiding citizens? This goes
well beyond free speech. It was a potential security threat. We need to
be more forceful when dealing with unruliness at these protests. I do
not recall seeing anyone do these things at the Pro Life rally last
week, and this rally had about 10 times more people at it. It also
received very small coverage in the media. I wonder why.
Nancy
Pelosi has been urged to start an investigation of this incident. We
shall see how far this investigation actually gets. Her cronies on the
far-left will probably lobby her against it. Let’s see if the communist
party gives an anonymous donation to the DNC. I’m sure of there is an
investigation it will be buried on page 23. Why was this protest
covered on the front page and the lead story on newscasts? Because
anything that is against the President is worth reporting, even
incorrectly. This goes to show certain crazy liberals in Congress that
think our media is not biased are themselves brainwashed by the NY
times and MSNBC. It’s no wonder circulation of the Times is down and
the Home Shopping Network gets better ratings than MSNBC. Media needs
to take notice and report to facts, not the sugar coated version of
what really happened.
