Moms Unleash Their Anguish, Anger -- All 8 of them

Moms Unleash Their Anguish, Anger (washingtonpost.com): "Moms Unleash Their Anguish, Anger
Thousands March to End Gun Violence, Renew Assault Weapons Ban "

What's interesting is that this was the Million Mom's March that had 2,000 marchers. And this makes page B1 in the Post? Come on, there are marches of a few thousand all of the time in D.C.; there is absolutely nothing which makes this page 1 coverage. In fact, C-SPAN planned to cover the march on cable and satellite television, but the turnout was so bad they played reruns of "Book Notes". I mean, C-SPAN will show even the dullest of political event but they passed on this pitiful gathering.

But no, the Washington Post headlines the article with the ultimate in Mexican Soap Opera drama, Moms Unleash Their Anguish, Anger. If that's not enough, it fronts section B.

Where is the article about the counter protest sponsored by he Second Amendment Sisters? No Bias, my ass.

Protesters, most of them women, gathered on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol yesterday for the largest gun-control demonstration in four years, a loud and calculated effort aimed at forcing President Bush to renew the soon-to-expire federal ban on assault weapons.

This is the best they can do in four years. No wonder Gore and now Kerry are running from the gun issue.
