I didn't say that, what I said was the guy didn't write a true news story because of his bias. It becomes hard to believe a story such as this when the guy is making judgments in the "news" story. Maybe if he had written the story with less judgment then it would have made more of an impact on me. Reading the article you can tell the "reporter" didn't agree with what the Minutemen were doing and it is reflected in his writing.
While I don't doubt that not as many people showed up as the leaders claimed, it isn't anything new with people such as this. The anti-war protestors did the same thing when they had their fun in the sun. In just about any protest you can bet that only about 1/4 to maybe 1/2 of the people are there that are there. It wouldn't be a first.
I agree with what the Minute were doing, but I don't think it was as attended as they claimed. The only other thing that could have happened was that that many people did show up but it was spread over the entire month when the "reporter" wasn't there.
I still think this is more suited to an opinion piece then a news article.
