Heh!

Here in Pittsburgh, our local news ran a teaser all night long saying "thousands" protest the war. It was the top story. They began saying "more than a thousand" protested in Pittsburgh. On screen was a video of the protestors. At most, there was 50 people, including about a dozen other media types with cameras. They covered the story for the first 7 minutes of the news & the only shot of the "more than a thousand" was the original 50 useful idiots. If there was "more than a thousand" protestors, their cameras somehow didn't capture them.

As usual they interviewed a few of the useful idiots, then ran a segment interviewing Murtha which included him telling several outright lies. Of course there was absolutely no rebuttal. It was 100% anti-war, anti-Bush BS all aired uncritically by the evening "news".

On Sunday, they continued to cover the story. This time it was 99.9% anti-war, anti-Bush BS with more outrageous lies from Murtha. The only rebuttal was one 8 word sentence from Rumsfeld's Op/Ed in the NYT.
