Irresponsible Journalism

   By PoliticalGeek at 1:11 PM

Yesterday thousands took to the streets of Washington, D.C. to protest the Inauguration. Unfortunately CBS, ABC,and NBC all down played it by reporting hundreds of protestors in the Washington, D.C. area and along the parade route. Anyone that saw the coverage first hand on CSPAN 2 knows very well that there were thousands of protestors at the ANSWER Demonstration alone and thousands more along the parade route. I am sick of the media not covering events such as this responsibly. Regardless of who the president is or who signs their paychecks the media still owes it to the people of this country to give us the whole truth. They are running scared from the current administration and going against their own professional codes of ethics. If they can not see fit to report the truth and quit downplaying any story that may be critical of the President and the administration then they should find another field to work in. This country needs a balanced media where both sides are told and not one where it's just about positive news for the President..
