I should have been there instead of here at work:

President Bush, saying nuclear weapons in Iranian hands poses a "grave threat" to the world, used a commencement address today to warn Tehran again to suspend all uranium enrichment activity and join multi-country talks on containing its nuclear program.

...

"If Iran's leaders want peace and prosperity and a hopeful future for their people, it should abandon its quest for nuclear weapons," Bush told the graduating class of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, N.Y., about 20 miles east of Manhattan.

Of course the established media would ignore such a thing, but since I'm from Great Neck - Kings Point - I happen to know there was a planned silent protest on the way to the academy in respect of the 2500+ ("Just a number" if you're Tony Snow) and to demonstrate that people from Great Neck do not agree with Bush or his policies. But if you were reading the WaPo - quoted above - or the NYT, you would never know that was the case.

If something happens, and the established media does not cover it, does it really happen?
