At Politico, a single RW protester = news

I wouldn't have believed if I hadn't read it with my own eyes.

Here's the Politico headline:

Liberal group march meets pushback

So, pretty simple right? A group of progressives marched in protest of something and were met by a group of conservatives who pushed back? I guess that's kind of interesting. But honestly, when groups hold political marches, the other side almost always tries to counter the event and is almost always outnumbered. But perhaps in this instance there was a reason Politico decided the “pushback” was the key.

Not quite. Instead, read the lede [emphasis added]:

A handful of liberal groups — but only a few dozen protesters — marched on the Republican National Committee offices Thursday to denounce the threats against members of Congress during the health care vote.

But in an oddly Washington moment, the gathering of MoveOn.org, Color of Change and CREDO, was met by Jordan Marks, a 28-year old conservative activist who interrupted the event and held up signs accusing the group of race-baiting.

That's right, the “pushback” came in a form of one guy. I kid you not. One guy showed up and Politico made that guy the news. In fact, guess who the only person quoted in the story was? Yep -- that one guy.
