1. Did you notice the title?
'Hundreds Rally Against Bush Plan'. Very misleading title when text says 1200 people. Time Warner Cable News.

4. It seems obvious
I know I'm new here, and probably shouldn't do this because I could be labeled a troll, but it says "hundreds" becuase 1,200 isn't enough to write "thousands."

8. "Over 1,000 Protesters..." would have sufficed.
I'm new as well, but I'll say "welcome" anyway.

2. The headline reads "Hundreds Rally Against Bush Plan"
and the first sentence states "More than 1,200 people gathered in downtown Rochester to protest President Bush’s social security plan." Which is it, "R News...As It Happens"? LOL

6. My opinion, when the news says, 1200, it's probably more like 2400.
You know how these right wing media likes to cover up numbers.
I'm glad to see all those protesters!!!

9. Yeah, I'll take 200 or 1200 or 2400, just as long as they...
get some press.

10. I listened to a long NPR story about Bush's appearance there--but I had
to turn on Rachel Maddow to hear about the protesters. Later in the morning I heard the local NPR guy saying that their donations are way down--I may write and tell them that I would be inclined to give more if they covered a protest once in a while.

11. NPR is doing their best to avoid real news and politics by doing ARTSY
personal interest stories.

Kind of like Entertainment Tonight only the Radio version.
