...and while i was at the dinner party, lots of other people were out protesting the war. maybe some day the mainstream media will cover the protests proportionately--it's nice that the new york times was clear about the "fewer than 100" pro-war psychopaths in washington yesterday -- but if they were fewer than 100, how could they possibly merit a quarter of the article, including the closing quotation? at an extremely conservative estimate, there were 200 times more anti-war protesters out there yesterday. wouldn't it be great if that was somehow reflected in column inches?
