The double standard of media covering protests. Again, nothing shocking but it’s one of the more egregious examples that has long bothered me. Especially since its my impression conservatives don’t protest anywhere near as much.

After reading that anti-globalisation/anti-war protests in London drew “about 4,000 protesters,” I thought that number of protesters looked familiar, so I decided to check how many showed up at last month’s “Tea Party” protesting higher taxes and increased government spending in Cincinnati. Looks like I was onto something. According to the local paper, “about 4,000 protesters showed up.”
