| There were very large demonstrations in NYC and DC. These were underreported. The press began loosing credibility after 9/11 but when WP stuck this in "Metro" that was the end of it for me. "Thousands" buried in "Metro": https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/2002/10/27/thou... "A headline in some editions of the Oct. 27 Metro section incorrectly stated that Saturday's antiwar demonstration in the District was the largest since the 1960s. The rally, according to police and estimates of the organizer, was the largest antiwar demonstration in the District since the Vietnam War, which ended in 1975." < ! > Honestly, if this demo -- it was huge -- happened in say Cairo, wouldn't it be splashed all over front pages for days? -- ps -- "Demonstrations in other cities, including Rome, Berlin, Copenhagen, Denmark, Tokyo and Mexico City, were held to coincide with the Washington march, and in San Francisco, thousands marched through downtown." Do they teach this at Columbia's School of Journalism? - There were demonstrations in lots of major capitals all over the world. Put it in 'international' section? - Sister cities. Metro. |
