Media Bias? Photo Coverage of DC Anti-War March

Coming into the march, Liberals want to see wide angle shots showing the size of the crowd. Conservatives, hoping to marginilize the event, want close-ups hopefully of some of the more colorful folks certain to show up who they can then mislabel & smear as whackjobs.

Let's see what we got at the internet media sites (at approx. 6 pm est):




CNN (w/ an AP Photo) This guy looks like he's stoned.














ABC (w/ an AP photo) The obligatory shirtless guy ... Hell, even better, a shirtless guy who shaved a peace sign into his chest hair ... Yuck








MSNBC (w/ an AFP photo) Her riffed slogan makes you think of the real one ... it's not something you want to be thinking regarding Grannies.













CBS (w/ an AP photo) Of course ... the obligatory angry man who even has the peacenik next to him cringing.












New York Times (w/ a European Press Photo) WTF? The NYT doesn't have its own photographer that can take a better pic than a fuzzy one of the backs of people.













Well, it looks like the MSM has done its best to marginilize the march. So what's a liberal to do:

The Daily Kos had to turn to a DC Traffic Cam to get a picture of the crowd.
