The Mainstream Media Can Wait

Mediabloodhound wonders why the mainstream media didn't cover the massive World Can't Wait protests that took place on October 5th.
Thousands of protestors in over 175 cities across the United States took part in today's "Drive Out the Bush Regime" demonstrations (organized by World Can't Wait). But you wouldn't know it from watching the national TV news tonight.

CNN, MSNBC, NBC Nightly News, CBS Evening News, ABC World News and PBS' NewsHour ignored this day of American protest, as did their corresponding websites. Considering the predominant U.S.-centric focus of these newscasts, it's interesting how a nationwide protest against this administration is the one exception to that rule.
Following this intro the post lists the stories that were covered by the aforementioned outlets.
