The turnout was 10,000 in Chicago and over 100,000 across the country according to the organizers of the nationwide action and Democracy Now. You really can NOT trust stuff like the Chicago Tribune. These are the same mainstream news sources that reported a couple thousand for the 100,000 in D.C. on September 15.
I know it seems like I am nitpicking but it is really important to realize the mainstream media's complicity in suppressing the importance of these protests and the anti-war movement by refusing to report it or under reporting it drastically. That is unforgivable on their part and let's not fall into their trap.
Get those numbers right!
