KSDK Grossly Underestimates Rally

Filed Monday, October 22, 2007 at 12:00 PM

In perhaps the most disgusting example of inaccurate, protective reporting ever witnessed, KSDK Channel 5 is reporting that only a few dozen people attended yesterday’s rally to recall Mayor Francis Slay.

From KSDK.com:

Dozens of St. Louis residents gathered on the steps of City Hall Sunday, demanding a recall of Mayor Francis Slay.

The group of citizens, city and religious leaders say they support former Fire Chief Sherman George, and believe his demotion was the result of a racial divide in the mayor’s office.

Watch PubDef’s video from Sunday’s event. We invite you to pause the video at the beginning and the end and do a head count for yourself. At its peak, there were easily 700 people in front of City Hall yesterday.

Perhaps KSDK’s figure was provided by a certain bike-riding tipster?
