Just saw Channel 4 news in NY

[edhopper]

and it made me sick. They started with the Park, saying how there were only a few thousand protesters, well short of predictions. Not telling viewers the protest was moved downtown. Then they went to the story of the March, FROM INSIDE MSG!!! Showing maybe 2 seconds of the march, mentioning there were "a few hundred thousand protesters" and spending the rest of the story on what arrest were made. (About 100.) I was there, there were probably a half a million people. And we get bubkis press. It makes you want to cry.

1. I've been to a bunch of protests

and reading the media the next day is the most depressing part.

But don't worry: The people who needed to hear what you had to say got the message.

2. Welcome to DU!

Sounds like it'd be worth a call or a letter to their newsroom to set them straight - since, after all, you were THERE, yourself. But evidently, other coverage from other networks was far more accurate (CBS Evening News, I understand) and will have people wondering on which planet Channel 4 News was all day.

3. Go, watch CSPAN's coverage my friend

when it is rebroadcast, and be of good cheer.

4. Don't sweat it

NBC news coverage was pretty good. Lots of interviews and BIG crowd shots.

5. What net affiliate is Channel 4 in NYC?

For the clueless here in South Carolina.

6. It's WNBC

obviously the NBC affiliate. I sent them an email, but they're media whores like the rest.
