Marching on Washington: The Joy of Victory and the Agony of Defeat as my Feet Hurt and Heart Ached

by Danny Schechter from Global Research.

I am presenting this article, not because I think it is so important, but to report on another liberal political event that received little coverage by corporate media--I never saw it reported except in some articles on the internet like this. (Incidentally, I am not a liberal (someone who wants a kinder, gentler capitalism--an oxymoron, in my opinion.)
My hunch is that this event got nowhere near the mainstream coverage of the Beckathon or the expected coverage of Jon Stewart’s October Rally for Sanity. Don’t forget celebrity coverage usually trumps political coverage of all persuasions, and Jon and Glenn are seen as dueling celebrities. Unless Paris Hilton is going to jail, they will get a lot of airtime.
