Meh,

I hate the local news channels. I was watching their coverage of the protest this afternoon, and the tinge of bias it had really bothered me. One report said only a "few hundred" protesters showed up, to the 25,000 in the stadium (the protester numbers actually peaked at around 2500, which isn't bad considering that the protest was fairly low-profile.) They also failed to mention that the people in the stadium had been bussed in from all over the state, whereas most of the protesters were locals. They interviewed three of the fundies to every one of the protesters, and chose misleading quotes like "fighting for marriage" etc. which is completely not what those gits are doing.

I'm waiting to see what the Stranger's coverage of it is like. I suspect that will be a bit different than KING, KOMO or (especially) KIRO.
