Recently (early 98) approximately 4,000 Minnesota tax payers held a rally at the State Capitol.  The two major newspapers had very small articles buried back in the middle pages and three of the four TV stations offered short segments about the event.  One, didn't cover it at all!

A few weeks later, 11 ultra-prejudice nazis held a demonstration and guess who showed up.  All of the media, major stories and front page stuff you know...

Is it just me?  Am I that confused and misinformed?

Update:

In 1999 this rally saw even more people!  Most of the local media covered the event but again, the coverage was brief and uninformative!
