17. When Democrats march/protest

is generally gets ignored by the media. The only time it's not is if there is violence, and then they're out of control thugs and police brutality is justified.

Glenn Beck had his big anti-Obama rally and drew somewhere around 80,000 to 100,000 protesters to DC. It got wall to wall coverage in the media that entire weekend. the very next weekend, there was a march in support of gay rights and gay marriage that drew - by most accounts - more people than Beck's march. Not a lot more, but maybe 10% more people. Other than some sarcastic comments on the Daily Show about why this didn't get coverage when compared to Glenn Beck, it got nothing on TV or on the radio other than a passing comment.
