LifeSiteNews adds another voice to the chorus of critics who have pointed out the apathetic media coverage of the Jan. 22nd March for Life:
Obviously, the networks believe some demonstrators are more newsworthy than others. It might just depend on whether the cause is liberal or conservative.
On Monday, January 22, none of the networks sent a Washington reporter a few blocks down to the March for Life. CBS and NBC offered brief anchor snippets noting "both sides" of the abortion debate would protest on the anniversary of the Roe vs. Wade Supreme Court decision, ignoring that one side brings tens of thousands to Washington, and the other side numbers in the tens. ABC did nothing.
Some estimates of the March place the crowd size above 200,000. While I'd like to see an official count I think this is certainly probable. The image above (click to enlarge), captures less then half the crowd and was created by combining a video of those standing to the north of the stage.
