THIS IS WHAT WE ARE UP AGAINST

(h/t Atrios)

We know that no matter how small, a Bagger rally can get local and national media coverage but the same isn't at all true for those of us who are opposed the the Bagger agenda.  I used LexisNexis to search for transcripts of TV and radio shows mentioning the We Are One rallies held nationwide and all I found was this:
Fox News Network
April 4, 2011 Monday
SHOW: BECK 5:00 PM EST
BECK for April 4, 2011
BYLINE: Glenn Beck
SECTION: NEWS; Domestic
LENGTH: 5466 word
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: "We Are One" rallies that are happening across the country today. Workers, students, families and, oh, yes, socialists, radicals, communists getting together to fight for the American dream.

(NEWSBREAK)

BECK: The "We Are One" rallies, they're happening all over the country today. We are one, one nation, and we are one. And they are standing in solidarity with the people of Wisconsin. Now, today's date is significant because it was back on this date in 1968 that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in Memphis. He was there supporting sanitation workers for their fight to form a union with AFSCME.
There were more results when I checked U.S. newspapers and wires but not as many as I would expect.
