[lbo-talk] Re: Kos on Marches (Doug Henwood)

[Stuart Elliott]

Doug Henwood says that Nathan Newman, David Corn, and Marc Cooper, and 
others are wrong to criticize the ANSWER's role in the anti-war movement 
because  the demonstration  "received sympathetic coverage in all the major 
media."

But Norman Solomon complains  "if you relied on television for your news, 
you'd hardly know the protests happened at all. According to the Nexis news 
database, the only mention on the network newscasts that Saturday came on 
the NBC Nightly News, where the massive march received all of 87 words."
