'Tens of Thousands' at Lefty Rally in D.C., but Times Avoided Specifics for Tea Party, Beck

'Tens of Thousands' at Lefty Rally in D.C., but Times Avoided Specifics for Tea Party, Beck:

On Sunday, labor-beat reporter Steven Greenhouse attended the left-wing “One Nation” rally, “Liberal Groups rally in Washington, Offering a Challenge to the Tea Party.” Unusually, Greenhouse led off with a specific (and rather generous) crowd estimate of “tens of thousands,” something the paper was unwilling to do for larger rallies held in D.C. by the Tea Party and talk show host Glenn Beck. (Kate Zernike and Carl Hulse referred to the crowd at Beck's rally as 'enormous' at the top of an August 29 story.)"
