Is that why traffic was so screwed up yesterday?
I'm assuming it gets no press because it happens every year for over 30 years. Nothing new to report, nothing sexy or gritty.

People rally agaisnt the war in Iraq - tons of coverage
the Superbowl is played every year.
I think that people would be interested to realize that our numbers are growing every year. I think that if people knew what the movement was about; Human life and suppression of democracy - they would be very interested.

Re: March For Life
Elections - new candidates, scandals, and issues, hence the coverage, actual result/closure is guaranteed
Iraq war rallies - still kinda hot, but cooling down as an issue
Superbowl - definitely overhyped, but different teams and storylines every year, actual result/closure is guaranteed
March for Life - same issue, same people (or type of people), no apparent end to the discussion = meh.
Excuse my offtopic rant for a bit, but I would appreciate it if rebels with causes would stop organizing Mall rallies. As a resident of the greater DC area, I can truly say that all they do is snarl traffic and piss people off. They get news coverage (sometimes) but they don't solve anything and are so cliched now it's pathetic. The 60s and 70s are over, man, time to come up with a new idea.

Re: March For Life
They should also stop dragging their kids along to their rallies. People that do that don't deserve to be parents. This pisses me off regardless of what side and issue is being represented.Excuse my offtopic rant for a bit, but I would appreciate it if rebels with causes would stop organizing Mall rallies.

Tuff, you're right. American "News" is a complete joke. I stopped watching it a long time ago.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

I´d agree that´s most likely it...because this seems like it´s right up Fox News´s alley.

Re: March For Life
That's why I like BBC - they report what happens, not just what they think matters. If you look up the key words "march for life", on MSNBC, CNN or Fox news - you won't find anything written by them since 2006 (fox). American Media is a crock.
