Pro health care rallies -- really?

I was reading an article on FoxNews.com about a pro health care rally today in Washington, D.C. It seems strange that the "media wing of the Republican party" would report on a pro government health care rally taking place in D.C. This, especially seems surprising consider some bloggers don't believe these rallies are getting their proper coverage. I can sympathize with him. After all, the 9/12 rally in DC that had anywhere from tens of thousands to 1 million marchers, depending on who you want to listen to only got brief mentionings in the news media. So, considering this rally in DC and the rally the blogger is concerned about got a thousand or maybe thousands of marchers, I'd say little to no mention is certainly consistent with attempting to minimize the 9/12 march as much as possible. I guess I'm actually surprised that the media hasn't covered these and tried to hype them up but maybe journalists do occasionally do their jobs.
