disinformation on MSNBC broadcast (was CNN)

Watching MSNBC (around 6:45PM - 7:00PM Time Warner Cable) at home
tonight was pleased to see a report on the demonstration taking place
in Times Square. I didn't attend the demonstration as it didn't have a
permit and I didn't feel like getting arrested, anyway, there is a big
march this Saturday that does have a permit and is going all the way
from 40th street down Bway to Washington Square Park.

Anyhoo, nice to see a bit of coverage for it even though it was slanted
a bit until the reporter held up a little flyer announcing the march on
Saturday the 22nd and said something like, "The march was supposed to
take place on Saturday but I guess they decided to do it tonight."

WTF?? These two events are not the same event! The march is still going
on on Saturday. F'ing lazy journalists are always f'ing up the facts.
Most who are interested in attending the march on Saturday probably
don't get their info from MSNBC anyway, but it was still very
frustrating.
