People of All Ages and Backgrounds Turned Out for May Day Yesterday

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. You know, yesterday something interesting happened

here in San Diego.

We had Ron Paul come to town. So I got the job of covering it.

I tittled my piece, THOUSANDS attend the rally.

Why?

My estimate is that it was about 5,000.

My local channel ten... they were lovely. "Hundreds attend Ron Paul Rally at UCSD," Now here is where they got really cute... the tight shot, showed about 1500 folks.

Which leads to the next comment. The media is pretty much CHOOSING and otherwise not covering trouble makers. Whether those are the folks on the "far left," I know better... or Ron Paul, who is on the far right. (And he is dangerous... lord he exudes charisma)

Something else happened... here I was told that I had to be a supporter since well, shit if you do political reporting you cover all people, left right and center. But apparently I am a supporter. Gosh darn it, I forgot to register to be able to vote for Paul

While there, well I am part of the Lib'rul media, media badge and all, so a few of the attendees, it was not a protest, tried to educate me on Ron Paul and his views and how right they are, and were thoroughly surprised I know what Ron Paul stands for. Yes, I have taken the time to READ on Ron Paul, comes with the job. But it is kind of funny. They will not cover us because (insert group here) controls the media. I think it is a little more complex and simple at the same time. They will not cover (insert group here) since they are trouble makers and a direct challenge to the status quo.
