Any ideas on why press coverage is still so lacklustre?
I realise that my rabid interest in seeing scientology fully examined in the press may be more than the average person, but given that there's been two worldwide protests now, you would think that the press coverage would be significantly more than it has been.

Can ESK Get a Post-March 15 report?

News Coverage - or lack thereof...
Buffy: I didn't jump to conclusions. I took a small step, and conclusions there were.

Richmond VA
We had about 25-30 people. We even had some people who walked up and got fliers then stuck around to help protest.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkTaG5RoCjc <-Video of the Richmond rendition of the Global Speech.
A NBC affliate dropped by, but I have no idea if we made the news. At least three people were taking pictures of us, all of who identified themselves as either indy media or hobbyist photographers.
There was, as far as we knew, only one Scientologist in the building. We never saw him after he went inside.
Good things:
Cake
Much fun had by all
Good communication with the police
Lots of positive honking and thumbs up
Corporate sponsorship: A Red Bull car not only honked in support but stopped and passed out samples.
50/50 thing:
We called to a passing car: "Want a flier?"
They said "Yeah".
Then they ran into the car in front of them.
It was a less than 5mph collision, no damage and everyone was cool. They still took a flier.
Bad thing:
Not much.

1st post here, feel a bit shy as not an ex-scn kid, just another anon, and don't want to invade your space too much.
But thought you'd like this pic from London's second location. Not my pic, but we were sat next to this lady as my girlfriend's legs were tired. She was just out of the main protest where the traffic was less chaotic so they got a good read.
