  Can Peace Activists Read? This post compliments my previous. I wish I didn't have to say anything about this, but it showed up again in some war protest stories that went over the wire yesterday.
Peace groups are always going on about how their "opinion is not heard in the media. " Bullshit. Have you ever picked up a newspaper? I know The Times has had a peace group demonstration or forum or something covered at least 5 times a week. Every time it is major, such as yesterday's protests or the last worldwide protest, it goes front cover. It's the newspaper's lead story with photographs and it jumps to inside pages with local angles and everything.
Also, yesterdays' protests, as with every major one that happens, is the lead story on news sites such as CNN. It was the lead story of The Philadelphia Inquirer the regional newspaper here. It's the lead story on ABC, NBC and The New York Times . In fact, every time someone mentions it, they are mentioning to a reporter. So next time you decided to make the statement, at least think about whom you are talking to.
