UPDATE:<\/b><\/i> Thanks to all of those who have linked to the following photo essay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Late last night, I was remembering having watched the scenes of protesters during the first inaugural parade in Fahrenheit 9\/11<\/i>. As I watched those scenes I had thought to myself, “I can’t believe I had no idea<\/i> that such protests had even occurred that day!” And I had watched virtually all of the “wall-to-wall coverage” of the inaugural back in 2001!<\/p>\n

The Mainstream Media failed us then, and I have since learned well how they are failing us now.<\/p>\n

It would be a travesty for people to remain similarly unaware of the hundreds of thousands who spoke out yesterday against a failed President who had to cheat to “win” and whose claims of having received a “mandate” are as arrogantly fallacious as having claimed to have been “a uniter, not a divider”. So, though it took quite a while very late at night to collect the following, I was girded in the process by remembering the importance for all of us now<\/i> to “Be the Media”. It must be done.<\/p>\n

To that end, you too must do your part. The wingnut cabal preys on ignorance. Don’t allow that to happen. Pass the link to these photos<\/a> around. Hitting the “Send it to someone!” button<\/a> is a convenient way to do your part. Don’t be fooled. It’s up to nobody but us at this point. – BF<\/p>\n
