http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-090415-tea-party-taxes-pg,0,3153993.photogallery.
I know its windy in chicago, but shurely people must be out and about in their summer clothes now??? not scarves and heavy coats.
Oh and the lil kid in the yellow is the same one from the CNN vieo back in april too.
so it was covered in mainstream media, at least the chicago tribune and CNN.....

Go figure...

Also, that's not much of a crowd, especially for a city as big as Chicago. There's some tricks that go into how protests are covered: lots of close-up shots of the crowd & no pic from up high to show the 'big crowd' are a 'red flag' for me that the crowd was kinda puny in size, relatively speaking . . . . . Especially in a place with oodles of high-rises all around to get that high-altitude pic to show the many who showed up . ....

Carefully examining the background reveals that many of the pics show widely dispersed protesters . . . . . When there are big crowds they get packed into the limited area . . . . .

Don't get me wrong, either, I'm a big fan of protest & people takin' it to the streets, but it's a very manipulable game . . . . .

Jus' sayin' . . . . . .
