The crowd included doctors, nurses, the uninsured, union bosses, community organizers, and others who were paid to be there.

The New York Times, AKA The State-Run Media Times:

While senators haggled over the intricacies of policy, thousands of people held a rally in a park nearby demanding “health care reform now.” The crowd included doctors, nurses, labor union leaders and people without insurance. Many urged Congress to create a public health insurance plan, as a possible alternative to private insurance.

Michelle Malkin, AKA an independent reporter/analyst who must use bodyguards:

On Thursday, a national “grass-roots” coalition called “Health Care for America Now (HCAN)” will march on Capitol Hill to demand universal health care. The ground troops won’t have to march very far. HCAN, you see, is no heartland network. It is headquartered at 1825 K Street in Washington, D.C. – smack dab in the middle of Beltway lobby land.

What I’m wondering is how the Times would have reported on this “rally” if Malkin hadn’t reported before the fact that it was a staged coalition of ringers?
