On Thursday morning, Jan. 22, I met with our six-camera crew at the Hyatt Hotel in Washington and went over the day's objectives.
We had come to town to shoot a documentary called "Thine Eyes" (See ThineEyes.org), the first-ever high-end production centering on the annual March For Life.
We were commissioned to create this video to set the media record straight. Although I had not attended the March before, I knew enough about the way the media worked to suspect that a little straightening was in order.
The media did not disappoint. Their coverage confirmed my most paranoid suspicions and shocked even the apolitical among our crew.
Energized by Obama's promise to expand the abortion franchise, pro-life activists flooded into D.C. from all over Canada and America. To capture some sliver of this movement, we had put camera crews on busses out of Kansas, Missouri and Alabama.
By noon of the 22nd the marchers had gathered on the Mall, as impressively colorful, diverse and good-spirited a gathering as I have ever seen, perhaps three-quarters of them under 25.
The AP reported “3 blocks” worth of marchers-LOL
If I remember correctly the NY Times didn’t even mention it
It is great to see that a documentary is being done on the way the media doesn’t cover the March.I would like to know more about this documentary.The media has hatred towards the March and will do anything to diminish its effects.
Excellent report from the awesome March for Life.
It was a year or two ago that I saw th eMarch For Life described as “several thousand.” Isn’t it always about 100,000?
Steel as RNC head was bottom of A-18 news here in the Dallas Morning News
Which all goes to prove that this is not about race, ethnicity or gender - it’s all about your politics. If Michael Steele were just inaugurated as the 44th POTUS, does anyone think that there would be all these celebrations throughout Africa (as Dennis Prager wrote about in his column today) and Socialist Europe??? Not on your life - this is all about BHO lining us up as another Member State - He is out there apologizing for America for doing what’s right and for being the BEST to live on earth...so far....
