Are anti-Terrorist arabs ignored by the media on purpose?
Glenn Reynolds seems to think so, especially with the way the MSM seems to ignore such protests as "minor news items". Sigh... Screw' em! That won't stop us from doing the protest again, except this time on a bigger scale. Hopefully it will be big enough that they won't be able to ignore it. Just another reason to love the blogosphere I guess!

Fox news covered it several times last night, but just the big one down at Sharm al Sheikh. Still, at least someone mentioned it.
But, you're right, I didn't see anyone else doing it either and certainly no print media.
Hey...next time, we protest with you. The blog chain against terrorism.
BBC world also covered the sharm protest several times.
I heard about protests in Egypt several times during the hour news breaks on the radio.
The coverage was minimal and it disapointed me. Especially since I am watching this from the US. Always you hear Americans say "why don't muslims say anything about terrorism?" We here they are saying it loud and clear and are mostly ignored! We need to make bigger, louder and less ignorable (word heh?) protests in the face of the media so that noone can even think for a second that these are nto or do not happen. I give "props" to all those who were able to and did protest the heathenry.
Hey, I did what little I could:

America media is basically out of touch with news - 'defined as what is happening'. And concentrates on news - defined as 'what we media pundits' want to see and may be useful in selling the products of our sponsors".
I have linked to you guys and put some of the pictures in my weBlog.
And, I continue to pray for your success and for your safety...
