FOX News took out a full page ad today in several newspapers today asking how their competitors could have "missed" the 9/12 protest in Washington DC. Of course, they didn't "miss" it -- the march got considerably more attention than larger ones arranged by liberals in the past. The point of the ad, I suspect, isn't really to suggest that the networks didn't cover the story as much as they didn't cover it like FOX. Which is to say, they weren't actively promoting the event. Meaning that next time around, networks will bend over backwards to give whatever right-wing event is occurring even more prominence, lest they be accused of "missing it," if FOX has its way. -- A.
