I was hard pressed to find ANY media coverage of the planned Peace March/Rally scheduled for yesterday, April 29th in New York City. The March For Peace Rally drew several well known figures like Cindy Sheehan, Jesse Jackson, Susan Sarandon, Randi Rhodes and others. Even C-Span, my most reliable source for viewing such events, when every other media outlet ignores them...did NOT show any portion of the event.
The protest was supposed to call attention to this country's Iraq War policies as well as its immigration policies. I finally went to The New York Daily News and got an abbreviated report on the march and rally:

Thousands marched down Broadway from the Flatiron District to the federal courthouse near City Hall, waving banners and shouting slogans calling for President Bush to bring U.S. soldiers home from Iraq.
