I sent the reporter this Email:

How can an event that you say "drew several hundred people," which you say "was billed in advance as Washington's largest demonstration ever on global warming." be "unclear whether that turned out to be accurate?"

I know you believe in "Global Warming," but this is really "spinning," even for you.


WashPost Wrongly Touts Tiny Protest As 'Largest Demonstration Ever' vs. Global Warming
NEWSBUSTERS
In Washington Post

Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold attempted to highlight a liberal rally against global warming that "drew several hundred people to the west lawn of the U.S. Capitol yesterday," but he seemed unclear on its historic significance:

"The event, called a Climate Crisis Action Day, was billed in advance as Washington's largest demonstration ever on global warming. It was unclear whether that turned out to be accurate, but those attending said they sensed a powerful momentum building behind calls to limit greenhouse gas emissions."

Earth to the Post: if you hold a rally against global warming and "several hundred people" show up, it's a little strange to pass that helpfully along as "Washington's largest demonstration ever" and as a sign of "a powerful momentum building" behind the liberal agenda. newsbusters.org
