When The Chronicle Attacks: Target - The Peace Movement
Call these mother f**kers now on the PHONE and let them have it. After years of UNDER REPORTING every single demo in the city, when they over report one rally they put it as a HUGE front page story, as though some catastrophe had happened. Call the bastards and let them have it - 415-777-7100 Plus, suddenly the Chornicle is interested in how the numbers got counted so they have a huge TWO FULL PAGE story on how they got their estimates! It looks like a fucking tabloid!! And this was exactly what I predicted, that we'd get low numbers and that the media would roast us for it. Funny how they're just like dogs that way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Photos show 65,000 at peak of S.F. rally Aerial study casts doubt on estimates of 200,000 Wyatt Buchanan, Chronicle Staff Writer Friday, February 21, 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ San Francisco -- A survey using sophisticated aerial photography of Sunday's anti-war march and rally in San Francisco has produced results that indicate a far smaller crowd than the 200,000 protesters estimated by police and event organizers. The results of the independent survey, commissioned by The Chronicle and SFGate.com, cast doubt on traditional counting methods and contradict the crowd estimate of 200,000, which was reported in this newspaper and news media around the world. Crowd size in a demonstration is important because organizers tend to use it as evidence of support for their cause. |
