War? What War?
Tens of thousands of war protestors are in Washington D.C. to protest the war in Iraq. They were joined by smaller rallies in a few cities in California. Participating in the rallies are numerous veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, along with a handful of celebrities, including the infamous Jane Fonda.
Isn't this a meaningful and important event? Or, might it be overshadowed by such stories as Prince Charles visiting a Presbyterian church in Philadelphia? According to the web sites for FoxNews and CNN (as of this morning), the war protest isn't even worth a single sentence:
In this sense, today's protest against the war is not like that of Vietnam since there has been a consolidation of corporate media into a few corporate hands - some of which, like GE, are themselves defense contractors. How shall we fare with such reporting?
