Looking through the WaPo Photo Gallery of the DC Protest March (22 photos), I was a little confused. The first photo is of a Bush Supporting Counter Rally. And then there were several more photos of these staunch allies of the administration. So many Bush Supporters -- WOW! Who knew?
So I started counting. Out of 22 photos, there were 7 photos of supporters of the Bush Administration. There were 15 photos of the Marchers. (A couple showed the stereotypical protestor vs anti-protestor shout off.) Seemed odd to me. Almost one third of the total picture show is devoted to the Bush Supporters. So I checked the WaPo's own estimates for crowd sizes. 400 Bush supporters vs. 150,000 Protestors Now this is too easy, really. I did a little math: For the 400 Bush supporters: 1 photo for every 57 attendees. For the 150,000 Marchers: 1 photo for every 10,000 attendees. So is my logic faulty? Or is this Faux-like fair and balanced? xposted at KOS WaPo's Balanced Photo Coverage commentary :: :: :: buzz-it!
