Journalism Prof: Anti-War Protests Ignored by MSM

[Memekiller]

Here's an interview with an Emerson Professor who wrote an Op-Ed for the Christian Science Monitor chastizing the lack of media coverage of the recent anti-Iraq War marches:

I think if you have a national day of protest -- which I read had a fairly modest turnout but still approached 100,000 when you combine the numbers for all the places nationwide – planned for weeks in advance. And when it’s been written about in alternative media sites like commondreams.org. It’s a bit eerie when there’s absolute silence in the traditional media about it. How can people make a decision without information? How can people, if you will, even counter-demonstrate if no information is out there?

How can the traditional newsmedia complain and whine that they’re losing their readership and viewership if they’re not covering news that (A) affects a lot of people and (B) a lot of people are participating in.

Hey, at least someone has the guts to say it, even if it is far too late.
