On Monday I wrote<\/a> to the national desk of The Post <\/em>wondering where was coverage of the One Nation progressive march scheduled for Saturday.  I also had an exchange of emails with staffer Dan Balz.  He argued that The Post <\/em>had coverage in July, but that story was about the One Nation coalition forming, not about any march on Washington.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, a story about Saturday\u2019s plans appeared online, posted about midday.  I expected the story<\/a> to appear in the dead tree edition the next day.  It didn\u2019t.  Instead, a similar version of that story appeared online again yesterday, with a new time tag.  But if you click on my original Monday link to the story, you get the new version, which deleted a paragraph I quoted in my Tuesday post about how this rally may compete with the Jon Stewart\/Stephen Colbert rally scheduled for the end of October.<\/p>\n

(This is not the first time The Post <\/em>has posted a story and then reposted an edited version.  The first version is no longer available.)<\/p>\n

So far, this rally has received much less coverage by The Post <\/em>leading up to it than did the Glenn Beck \u201crestoring Honor\u201d rally on August 28.<\/p>\n

In the week before Glenn Beck\u2019s \u201cRestoring Honor\u201d march, The Post <\/em>published in its dead tree edition:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 Three op-eds <\/p>\n

. A 2,342-word story on how the march would be a \u201cmeasure of tea party strength.\u201d  <\/p>\n

\u00b7 On the day of the march, it published a 2,722-word story on the \u201cmeaning of the march.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u00b7 Plus a 795-word story about TV coverage of the march. <\/p>\n

\u00b7 And a 1,331-word story on how to host a march on the Mall, giving further exposure to Beck\u2019s march.  <\/p>\n

So far for the progressive\u2019s rally, we have basically the same 600+ story that has been online for two days but finally makes the paper today and an op-ed by Harold Meyerson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, E.J. Dionne comments today<\/a> that the upcoming rally has received much less attention than the Beck rally because Fox News seems to set the mainstream media agenda.  Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
