Profound Dishonesty at the Oregonian

Here's a stunning example of a newspaper's staff using their positions to advance their own ideology.  Compare the photos of the same event, first the Oregonian's, and next the group's own pictures.

The Oregonian's photos make it look like a few dozen people showed up -- after all, if it had been bigger, they'd have shown it, right?


Regardless of your own agenda or opinion about the viewpoint of those rallying, you have to admit this is sheer bias.  Nothing else explains the poor selection of photos.  And certainly if it had been a pro-choice rally, a pro-Obama rally, or an anti-American rally, the crowd size would have been emphasized not understated.


Is it any wonder the Oregonian is not trusted?
