Today's headline:

"Thousands March Against Syria in Beirut"
http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp.../lebanon_syria


(how many thousand? Estimates are around 800,000)

Last week's headline:
"
Hundreds of thousands turn out to Pro-Syrian demonstration in Lebanon
"
(estimates were anywhere from 200-500,000)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the pro-Syrian people marched, the news headlines read "hundreds of
thousands march". When the anti-Syrian folks marched today, the AP headline
merely read "thousands march".

I'm still trying to figure out why Jimcomma or basskisser didn't post this. We
sure saw enough posts about the last one.

CNN gave todays demo a full 15 seconds on the news. I saw nothing on NBC. The
last demo was shown repeatedly on the unbiased, 'mainstream' media, along with
the comments about Bush getting a 'slap in the face'.

Are you saying the media is pro-Syrian?

So, NOYB, is it all going according to the neocon's plans?

If that's what it takes to be liberal, they will be.

I saw nothing about this on the news. They were too busy talking about a
black guy who shot a judge and several other people, and another semi-black
guy who molested kids. I guess that 3/4 of a million people standing up for
freedom and Democracy in the Middle East, just isn't news when a Republican
is President.

They're anti-Bush. Bush has demanded Syria leave Lebanon. So the news
media was really excited when a couple hundred thousand people (comprised
mostly of Syrian, Palestinian, and Hizbollah terrorists) marched *in support
of* Syria.

I watched CNN and MSNBC most of the afternoon, while doing chores. I new about
the demonstration from a Fox broadcast, but wanted to see if it was covered
elsewhere. In flipping back and forth, I finally saw CNN mention it around 4:30.
Like I said, it got about 15 seconds of air time. Michael Jackson got much, much
more because he is so important to the grand scheme of things (and he's probably
a liberal Hollywooder).
