Well the active duty military that participated in that march, no matter what the number, probably would prefer not to have a lot of media publicity as their participation may be considered an Article 92 violation of DoD Directive 1344.10.

But getting back to a main point, where is it written that a commercial news media has to report every story? News media are private companies (in most cases) and as private companies they are free to report or not report as they see fit.

Besides, don't we get unopinionated news here in GT?
:har:

Didja ever notice that your opinions are not biased but everyone else's seem to be? :hmmm:

The media focuses on what they deem to be big news and a small protest demonstration just doesn't make the grade, especially when the turnout doesn't come close to matching the hype.

If you promise "thousands of veterans" you had better supply thousands, not a few hundred scruffy looking guys claiming to be vets and a few hundred more obviously not veterans.

You want media attention? This is how you do it (in my unbiased opinion):
