I've had a look at the SWTSU website, and I must say I'm impressed with the academic standards at your alma mater. Since you hail from such a fine institution, I'm surprised you neglected to provide a link to the specific article or articles you're describing here. I read extensively, and I haven't seen anthing like what you're describing.

And even if people at anti-war protests do carrry signs like you describe, so what? It's a free country, as you may recall.

Yes, you're quite right that the national coverage of the D.C. antiwar rally was quite spotty. It's very interesting, don't you think, for our "liberal media" to give short-shrift to such a seemingly attractive opportunity to promote its leftist views? Hmmm. Maybe that darn ol' media ain't so liberal after all? What do you suppose might be behind that?

Oh, one further thought, with source. (Please take note how it's done)

I thought you might want to have a look at this.
