How to Cover Protests, MSM Style

Call the biggest one this week, One against your thought-partner (A Certain Mr. Chavez), a "Sign of dissent" in the headline.



Make the picture of the MASSIVE crowd, small. Like this!





(Don't forget to mention Cavez wins elections by wide margins) Yeah... Dictators do that!


Now, When you want to report "protests", but not many people show up, you do Close-ups, Like these, of perrenial favourite Bush-ally-tyrant-Musharraf protesters.





Or just report on the "Protest", with no pictures at ALL of the actual event. Just a blow-up doll of your hero.

CNN - The New CBS?

It would seem the CNN "Planted Questioner" Method is endemic. Key Excerpt :

"It seems more “plants” are being uprooted with each passing day. Almost a third of the questioners seem to have some ties to Democratic causes or candidates."

Michelle Malkin has done the hard work

No Conservitive Scandal or Bomb in Iraq Today

We Can tell, Becaus CNN leads with aplane crash in a foreign country. Mainly, I think, because there are good pics...



MSNBC dredges up an old favorite, Aids. Complete with "I am a victim - healthcare for all! - socialist goodness.




They could not resist a Bad pic (upnostril), and an Accusation against Rudy. This is Sourced from the NYT, Long time ally and supporter of "America's Mayor". Read some of these, then ask thyself - they are accusing Rudy of futzing the numbers?



ABC got Nuthin!

How Anti-gun propaganda works 101

Headline:

118 arrested and 1,300 guns seized in massive firearms raid.

Wow! impressive!

"Raids in hotspots which account for more than half of Britain's gun crime - Manchester, London, Liverpool and Birmingham - involved more than 1,000 officers yesterday.
The operation seized 10 handguns and £5,900 in cash. "

1000 Cops! 10 handguns! European money! What Success! And then.........

"six imitation handguns, 1,290 other realistic imitation firearms,"

UH-OH. Here we go. A raid, with 1000 Cops, yields some 1300 "guns", 6 of which were "imitation", 1290 were toys, and 4 were Airguns? With pictures of which the caption says "pretty impressive", and a file picture that has NOTHING to do with the raid, the haul, the confiscated cars?

Yet the people who wrote this trash, consider themselves the sole qualified arbiters of our window on the world. Because of "levels of editors". Or some such.

No Anti-gun meme here!

Hat Tip: BMEWS

Missing Headline Alert!

For U.S. troops, this is the quietest November in Iraq.


This requires a willing suspension of belief. Thanks for the moment of clarity there, Hillary. Now - if anyone finds this grim milestone in a MSM headline today, you win $25! Good Luck.
