As always,


FOXNews is full of BS. At least this time I don't think they can do their 'tried and true' trick of switching pictures of crowds to support their lies. They've been caught at it, too many times.

As is almost always the case after such events, the crowd estimates vary widely, CNN reports. AirPhotosLive.com -- commissioned by CBS News to take aerial pictures of the crowd -- put the number at 87,000, while Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) insisted, "We're not going to let anyone get away with saying there were less than a million here."

Beck said on "Fox News Sunday" the number was between 300,000 and 650,000. And Fox itself wasn't coy. Its coverage aired with a banner putting the crowd at "over 500,000."

I'm betting on AirPhotosLive, and the real number is less than 20% of what FOX reported. Any takers?

What is more important than ur constant whining is the msg that was given.

Back when MSNBC ran the story of gun toting protesters at tea party being racist did u also run a blog on it since the guy msnbc portrayed as a racist against ovomit is black. talk about horrific reporting, but u got to expect that from msnbc.

I don't get my news from FOX or MSNBC. They are both biased, BUT, FOX is off the chart with their lies. And what is the msg? Turn the country over to the rightwing Christian conservatives that supported the whole Bush agenda? I don't think so.

I don't know what the msg was. Didn't listen to it. Was at work.

Absolutely they are all biased which is very sad these days. News media in my mind should be unbiased and neutral. They should report the news of the day. If ovomit says I do not have all the facts but I think the police acted stupidly...the news should rip him apart for not knowing the facts and making such a stupid comment but instead all we get from most media is if u speak against him u are a racist. Absolutely sickening.
U also seem rather biased as I only see u rag on fox and nothing of the crap msnbc puts out. Their evening shows do not report much news of the day but only to blast what the Reps. said or what Fox said...all they do is whine about the other side taking things out of context and twist it in their own perverted way.

Though I admit I do not visit here often with your everything is bush's fault and ovomit does no wrong attitude.

Again for the other side of the coin I thought bush should have been impeached and he and his sidekick belong in prison.

The message Glenn Beck had to offer America and those thousands present at the Lincoln Memorial is thus: Americans must take back what is ours, which is what our forefathers intended; freedom from government intrusion, Christianity in schools and halls of justice and government, Conservative thinking.
I personally believe people should rely less on government and more on themselves. We would have a more responsible nation and work together in crisis if we depended less on Big Brother and more on oneself. I believe that was determined during and following Katrina, where the majority of New Orleans neediest were welfare and didn't know how to survive without govt. assistance or authority telling them what to do or where to go.
I'm not a Tea Bagger nor a flamin' Liberal, but somewhere in the middle. Change is needed, but you CANNOT blame one man for all that's gone wrong. It's been over 200 years of errors!
