Doug Henwood Talks

Doug Henwood says that Nathan Newman, David Corn, and Marc Cooper, and others are wrong to criticize the ANSWER’s role in the anti-war movement because the demonstration “received sympathetic coverage in all the major media.”

But Norman Solomon complains “if you relied on television for your news, you’d hardly know the protests happened at all. According to the Nexis news database, the only mention on the network newscasts that Saturday came on the NBC Nightly News, where the massive march received all of 87 words.”

Silly me. I’m still stuck in the dead tree world. I read about it in several major newspapers.

I guess the TV networks would have covered it if ANSWER hadn’t been involved.
