Veterans Day celebration and Anti-war protest

| |

This post is not about who holds anti-or pro-war sentiments that was a major element in the elections but about accurately portraying events. The LA Times and NY Times had photos tying it to Veterans day, set aside for all who have battled wars. LA had a picture in Santa Barbara and NY had a photo in Santa Monica. Both said it was a memorial for fallen soldiers by Veterans for Peace. What neither noted was that the group has been strongly anti-war and opposed the 2003 invasion. Once again, it's not about the group's stance but giving readers' context.
