Did you know that some on the left believe that the 9/12 protests got preferential coverage at some major newspapers?
Eric Boehlert of Media Matter s thinks so. In fact, he takes as proof for this thesis that the Washington Post didn't cover the "100,000" person protest against the Iraq War in 2002 the same way they covered the 9/12 protests:
Behold the media's glaring double standard. Today, the Post puts the "tens of thousands" of Obama-hating tea bagger protesters on A1; makes it the lead story as a matter of fact.
Back in 2002, when more than 100,000 anti-war protesters gathered in the nation's capitol to protest the Bush administration, the same WashPost did its best to ignore them:
American Thinker Blog: Media Matter's Boehlert whines about media 'double standard" in covering protests
another sign of desperation
