ABC, CBS, and NBC covered the far-left Occupy Wall Street movement with glee during 2011, devoting 33 stories on the air during the first eleven days of October alone to publicizing the protests. However, the Big Three networks have yet to mention the planned demonstrations in 140 cities across the U.S. today at noon local time against the Obama administration's sterilization, abortifacient, and contraception mandate.

The Coalition to Stop the HHS Mandate, which is being coordinated by the Illinois-based Pro-Life Action League; and includes multiple pro-life, social conservative, and religious groups, including Human Life International, The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, the Alliance Defense Fund, and Priests for Life; have organized the "Stand Up For Religious Freedom" rallies "in defense of religious freedom and STAND UP against the Obama administration's HHS mandate at federal building in cities across the country."

Any coverage will be negative, baseless denigration and character assassination.

Now if the msm thought this protest was Marxist in nature they would give lots of free cheer-leading.

I just read about this in an update on the website of the locally leftwing rag - pretty even handed if you ask me:

I just got back from the Lincoln, Nebraska rally, and I thought there was a pretty good turnout. No media coverage that I could see. Guessing 200-300 standing single file around the Federal Bldg. Maybe more.

My Dad is out at one right now, I believe...protesting at the offices of our local moonbat Rep, Carolyn McCarthy.
