Apparently, it depends on what they're protesting.

Protesting a war? Newsworthy.

Protesting the Spanish government's appeasement of terrorists? Not so newsworthy.

From PubliusPundit:

Madrid has been flooded with over a million people who marched to say a sound NO to Zapatero and his appeasing policy toward [leftist terrorist group] ETA. The Spanish Prime Minister decided to open a dialogue with those who terrorized and murdered hundreds over the last decades.

This demonstration was not at all meaningless. It showed how not all of SpainÂ’s population supports their prime ministerÂ’s absurd policies. And yet, there has been a total media blackout.

However, I found tons of photos in several Spanish blogs. It fills the media vacuum!

For background on the ETA and Basque separatists, look here.

Thanks to LGF for the heads up.
