Reply #8: I understand fixed cameras

But in the past, they put at least one camera along the march route so each protestor could pass by it. They are only staying at one location.

We all know that DC is a no-fly zone, but that does NOT exonerate this crappy coverage.

BTW....preventing the camera from capturing any more than a tiny amount of the crowd allows the press to say what they want about numbers. Here is what the AP has right now.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Opponents of the war in Iraq marched by the tens of thousands Saturday in a clamorous day of protest, song and remembrance of the dead, some showing surprisingly diverse political views even as they spoke with one loud voice in wanting U.S. troops home.

The surging crowd, shouting "Bush out now" and "Peace now," marched in front of the White House and then toward the Washington Monument in an 11-hour marathon of dissent.

They were young people with green hair, nuns whose anti-war activism dates to Vietnam, parents mourning their children in uniform lost in Iraq, and uncountable families motivated for the first time to protest

Better than CNN's "hundreds", but still...
