It's the longest running protest worldwide but the media seems to just ignore. Why is that ?

An excellent question. I was scouring the papers and web, and there was virtually nothing from the mainstream media on this huge rally. Again and again, the media has demonstrated an inexplicable favoritism to the left. Take, for example, the anti-war protests. The media will have a lead story on Cindy Sheehan and 5 demonstrators outside a federal building, yet ignore the hundreds of thousands marching on behalf of life in our nation's capitol. The cry of "liberal bias" in the media is real and demonstrable, not some concocted myth by conservatives. For those who disagree, simply take a sampling of news stories over the course of a month and witness the favoritism for yourself. Recommended reading from someone who has seen this from the inside would be these books from Bernard Goldberg: "Bias" and "Arrogance."

Oh, puleeeze! What a load of baloney. Sorry, but there is NO liberal bias in the media. The cry of "liberal media bias" has been an effective, but phony, complaint waged by the right wing to pressure the corporate-owned mainstream media (already slanted toward right-wing corporate interests) to move further to the right. Why didn't the media give more coverage to the HUGE anti-war protests in this country and all over the world?
The idea that the "pro life march" is the longest running protest worldwide is not only a lie, it's ridiculous. Do a bit of research.

Media tends to have a Liberal Bias and picks up more stories on tha side. Also abortion is a hot-button issue and gets less attention rather then deal with angry calls from one side or the other.

I agree with you, the media always ignores it because the media is Liberal. But they wouldn't ignore The Pro-Choice Rally. Thats for sure!!

It isn't politically correct. You don't have enough homosexuals,nor lesbians,nor ethnic groups. You don't have exotic religions, or anything of that nature. All you have is life.
Right now in this world life is the cheapest commodity there is!! So why would the media bother?

Because the media recognizes a woman's right to choose.
