Wish TV Channel 8 coverage of yesterday's protest at the State House
Advertisements [?]
I was watching the news late last night and they were discussing the rally that took place yesterday and I thought that the spin that they put on the rally was really negative towards the protestors. The coverage focused on interviews that they conducted with several people who appeared to not know anything about the legislation being proposed or that the "right-to-work" bill had been killed. The political analyst (Shella) seemed to suggest that since a lot of the participants had been bused in from surrounding states and that the rally wasn't as big as had been suggested, the Republicans could basically afford to ignore them. At any rate, they've said that they're not planning on changing their agenda in the slightest. Did anybody else see and feel the same way about the coverage (or was my brain just tired at that point and I was just reading things into the coverage)? It seemed heavily spun against the protestors. :shrug:

Here's the online news link that hits some of these points: http://indiana.onpolitix.com/news/39041/at-least-8000-protesters-rally-in-indy?referrer=wishtv.com
