CNN's headline for a story about the demonstrations today: Americans demonstrate for, against war. In the article, they mention the New York protest (anywhere from 100,000 to 500,000 antiwar protesters), San Francisco,  DC, Chicago antiwar protests...and one small pro-war protest in Chicago. It's ludicrous to think that any pro-war protest anywhere in the country could match up to the NY protest (...which, if you haven't heard, stretched down Broadway from 42nd St. to Washington Square Park, packed solid...100,000 is the very conservative estimate), yet CNN has still opted to put the "for" ahead of "against". As if we didn't already have more than enough proof of their bias... I was in the Boston rally and march Thursday night - it was great, even though the ANSWER twerps hijacked it. Hopefully the United for Justice With Peace people (including Salon Blogs' own Toby), who are organizing a big rally and march for next Saturday on Boston Common, will remember to get their own sound system to keep the ANSWER twerps from taking control. Nothing ruins a good protest like Communists...
