You know, one of the *fascinating* things about news coverage of the anti-war protestors is this:
When I actually see these guys, they are totally anti-American. They're saying America is a bad and evil country in so many words, they're espousing socialism, etc.
But on the news media, they get these rare cleaned-up people who complain that conservatives dare to call them anti-American just because they have a few policy concerns. Those talking heads do *not* reflect the mass of people who show up, who say they are and hold signs indicating that they are not just people who disagree with Bush but overwhelmingly *are* anti-American.
So sure C-SPAN will give the leftists more time. But the neat thing is that on the C-SPAN rally coverage of them, unlike the Washington Post and everywhere else, you actually get to hear how anti-American they really are. None of this moderate spin.
That's why I'm not afraid of C-SPAN coverage of them. It's the only truth that comes out about them in the mainstream media, so far as I can see.

I agree. It's very entertaining--and self-defeating for them. However, there's always a new crop of college kids every year they prey upon that turn out for these things.
