The natives are becoming restless....the ones off the Koolaid that is.

5. The RNC protests in NYC also got way undercovered, even by the NYTimes :(

7. Yes, and the protests on bushits Euro Tour in Feb 05 also

Mainz Germany had 12,000-15,000 but I think that was all their protests over a weekend added together. Even so, there were pics that showed easily that it was more than was reported by news stations and the US primarily showed the empty streets that they kept the protesters away from along the motorcade route.

3,000-4,000 in Madrid Spain, reported as a couple thousand.

1,000 in Brussels, Belgium reported as hundreds.

The trend is why I was curious to see what would be reported.

I think there was also 1,000 at the rally Jan 6, when they tried to get the fraudulent electoral vote for Ohio reviewed/overturned before Bushit took over. It was either under reported or not even addressed.

Reverend Jesse Jackson was there. The protesters were herded into a park and dribbled out into the street, blocking traffic for a ways.

I saw pictures of the Inauguration protests and they were HUGE. Not reported accurately at all.
