The Associated Press: Thousands march to US Capitol to protest spending

Up to two million march to US Capitol to protest against Obama's spending in 'tea-party' demonstration | Mail Online

News reports on the same march on the capitol in Washington DC. Popular news organizations such as the Associated Press report the incident as involving "Thousands of people", with pictures carefully depicting small numbers of people, while in reality the protest involved over 2 million people.

Want to hear a joke? Freedom of press

Wow... Those people are pathetic. "Socialism is slavery to the state." They obviously do not know the difference between pure Socialism and Social Democracy. "Glenn Beck for President"? Such a joke.

Hmm. I never knew that 'up to 2 million' meant over 2 million.

Also, before you became blinded with fury over the obviously Obamasmitten media, did you think that maybe the articles were written at different times?

The articles even have the time listed there at the top. Obviously the '10 hours ago' article will be less accurate than one updated in the last hour.



I think the bigger difference in the articles is the quality.

I really have no clue what you're talking about... The pictures all show vast numbers and the article states there are vast number of people... So even if you assume what you said/implied is right and the article and photos disagree, what're you implying? The Evil Liberal Conspiracy is forcing photographers but not journalists to only show things their way? If you listen to the news lately they're publicly disrespecting Obama, accusing him of being a Muslim Kenyan Elitist Murderer and saying complete lies and denying historical truth just to prevent him from being able to do anything.

And when Bush was around, there was much of the same thing... Your post makes no sense and is just more fear-mongering that makes me reminds me of Fox New's lies powered by little more than ignorance and racism, I hope I misunderstand what you're trying to say.

Nurta, he means the title. It's typical of the media.
Example: 1,005 protest
Over 1,000 protest
Under 2,000 protest
One supports the protest one doesn't.

You appear to like jumping to the same conclusions as Mars.

Yeah. So what have we learned from this? At least 0.6% of Americans do not like Obama.

Haha, netrix. That last part was funny.

I also think it has something more to do with a liberal and a conservative journalist, not restriction on our media. It could also be the time difference, like Putis was referring to, but who's to say?

You're certainly right, that even though there were upwards of 75K people there, the media didn't cover it nearly at all (Fox is exempt).

I don't understand why all the hate for Glenn Beck. Netrix seems to enjoy flaming him with no good reason.

That about sums it up, extreme accusations of the president that don't even make sense, based on no evidence besides his other extreme accusations
