How the WaPo Covers Rallies

8,000-12,000 show up for an anti-war tantrum? A1, above the fold, and an "s" added to "thousand" to make it seem like there were really untold throngs in attendence. Lead item on every major network and local newscast in the nation all weekend long. Four pages of fawning coverage - every rant repeated, every slogan blared, a moonbat blathering nonsense about the 60's every other sentence.

Tens of thousands more pro-lifers show up on the previous weekend at the same location for an anti-abortion rally?

Page A-10. Two pages. Move along, folks. Nothing to see here.
