I'm only reacting to what's been reported. They're the ones choosing the words they print.

If the march's organizers are on record stating manifestly that the march is merely being postponed than that's precisely what the media should be reporting, not that the march has been canceled.

The article says they cancelled the date so the organizers could lunatica Dec 2018 #2

The march has been cancelled. If they used the word "postponed" I would agree with you. jcmaine72 Dec 2018 #6

That's your proof for misusing the article? lunatica Dec 2018 #8

How was it misused? The headline stated the march was canceled and why. jcmaine72 Dec 2018 #37

LOL! lunatica Dec 2018 #40

No, only that my question was based on it. jcmaine72 Dec 2018 #46

The OP is misleading lunatica Dec 2018 #4

Do more outreach to get people which will reflect the community better? What are they Autumn Dec 2018 #7

Or maybe the organizers can do a better job reaching out to diverse participants EffieBlack Dec 2018 #9

It's an annual march not a new thing, not a suprise. If the people in the community don't Autumn Dec 2018 #12

Like elections - but we still expect folk to do outreach in order to get young people to vote EffieBlack Dec 2018 #33

It's an annual march. You want to continue a discussion from another thread do so there. Autumn Dec 2018 #34

Also maybe try the obvious. Have it in a place that's easy to get to. Duh! brush Dec 2018 #24

Effective outreach means the target audience is reached ecstatic Dec 2018 #13

It's an annual march not a new thing. If people know and choose not to participate Autumn Dec 2018 #15

A Sinclair channel is not a credible news source. Again you should delete. Demsrule86 Dec 2018 #49

Really? It's an ABC affiliate. jcmaine72 Dec 2018 #53

But it is still Sinclair. Demsrule86 Dec 2018 #61

In that case, I hope Sinclair never reports that water is wet, or that 2+2 equals 4. jcmaine72 Dec 2018 #64

Anything reported by Sinclair is suspect. Do you know about them? Demsrule86 Dec 2018 #69

That sounds so much like one of those fake news stories out of those Farmer-Rick Dec 2018 #19

Figures..........thanks for letting me know Farmer-Rick Dec 2018 #52

The newspaper articles all site additional planning. Although if you go by Sinclair and don't read Demsrule86 Dec 2018 #62

Did you read the post article? The headline is deceptive as planning continues. Demsrule86 Dec 2018 #60

Even the Post used the word canceled. jcmaine72 Dec 2018 #63

Yeah, the post article seemed pretty clear to me. cwydro Dec 2018 #65
