100,000 to 300,000 (depending on the article you read) pro-life people marched in WDC on January 22, 2009, two days after Obama’s inauguration. Here’s the proof:
Did you hear about this? First, I apologize for my unfamiliarity – I’m not an activist of any sort, although I am an unapologetic pro-lifer. But I stumbled into this piece about the Old Gray Prostitute ignoring utterly the march so I did some more research.
I think the article creates a good comparison:
If 50,000 feminists had gathered on the Mall in D.C., to demand passage of the so-called Freedom of Choice Act, it would have been above-the-page-one-fold coverage in The Times, accompanied with an aerial photo of the crowd.
If 25,000 environmentalists had congregated in our nation’s capital to call for the deindustrialization of America, to combat global warming, it would have rated at least a photo-illustrated half-page spread.
If 10,000 anti-war activists came to D.C. to agitate for a U.S. withdrawal from the Eastern United States, The Times would have given them a half-page news story, along with a companion editorial and a blubbering commentary by Maureen “The Canyon Ranch Kid” Dowd.
Was it only the graying whore? Newsbuster did a roundup:
It may come as no surprise, but many media outlets ignored the annual March for Life in Washington, DC on January 22, despite many thousands of protesters. ABC, CBS, NBC, and the NewsHour on PBS all failed to offer a story on it. The print editions of Time and Newsweek both ignored it.
I guess I am not the only one shocked (note – “surprise” is a misuse of the word – grammar whore, sorry).
So 100,000+ people march for a cause. Who covered it?
Newsbusters again: “The Washington Post offered a decent story on page A2, by contrast. USA Today and the Los Angeles Times also offered stories inside their A sections.”
Now Google:
The News Sentinel, Knozsville, Tennessee.
The Washington Times.
The Manchester Union Leader.
You get the picture. Fortunately, we will have a movie in March 2009 to buy, distribute, and remind the libs that we are still here.

The anti-life advocacy/adversary media has not cared, does not care and will not care.
They will not publish or broadcast ANY pro-life news. It does not fit the party of death, better known as the Democrat Party and the liberals and leftists who populate it and/or support it.
That will not publish or broadcast ANYTHING that competes with the glow of the abortionist-in-chief Obama.
Especially so close to the dawn of Hope and Change in America, Jan. 20, 2009.
i refuse to be optimistic, but i am watching to see what the media landscape will look like after it is rebuilt. the present model proffers so much liberal trash. with their economics collapsing – LAT now slashing jobs – it opens the door for conservative money to enter.
will the New New York Times have ann coulter in o’dowd’s space?
Funny. Very funny. Won’t happen, but funny.
