Examiner Lies about Protest

by Ann T. Hearst
Examiner runs AP coverage of 11/3 protest estimating crowd of "dozens"
In the "Local News" section of today's Examiner, the AP wire story states: "A few dozen demonstrators gathered in downtown San Francisco on Wednesday, huddling together with their familiar anti-war signs...But the scene was nothing like earlier anti-Bush protests..."

For anybody that wasn't at the Not In Our Name Rally on Wednesday, the crowd that gathered at 5th and Powell was probably close to 5000.

If you want to tell the corporate media to stop lying, contact the Examiner at "letters [at] examiner.com" or AP at "info [at] ap.org"
