it certainly wouldn't be the first time that the major media has deliberatly falsified it's reporting.
I remember, right before Dessert Shield, that idiot Dem. Senator Wellstone held a rally on the U of Minn campus to show that people didn't want Pres Bush to go after Iraq. The Minneapolis Star Tribune's coverage of it said that there was a few thousand people in attendance. Well I was walking past that rally several times during that day, and maybe at the height of it, there was about 25 people there in support of Wellstone's position. (There were several hundred students off to the side heckeling and jeering them though. But even combined, there was no more than a few hundred.) The newspaper deliberatly falsified the number of people there and didn't even mention that there was way more people protesting the protest. (Then when Sen Wellstone and Sen Kerry from Mass. had their little tempertantrum on the Senate floor during the begging of Desert Storm, they pointed to that article and claimed that thousands of their constituents showed up in support for not attacking Iraq)
My supervisor at 3M said that when he was attending the U of Minn back during the Vietnam war, there was a anti-War protest held on the campus, and there was maybe 50 people protesting the war. But the newspaper and nightly news reported that there were 15,000 people protesting!
