Atlanta demonstrators decry 'bias'

More than 200 demonstrators protested outside CNN Center in downtown Atlanta.

A crowd of demonstrators Saturday outside CNN Center and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution offices in downtown Atlanta protested what they called 'liberal bias' by mainstream media. About 200 protesters were on hand, according to police estimates. A demonstrator said about 600 attended the event.

The protest was organized by "Operation: Can You Hear Us Now?" According to the group's website it is a non-partisan organization.

This protester dressed as a tea bag and said she was marching to "make her voice heard."

According to the Operation: Can You Hear Us Now? website, the protest is "A nationwide event meant to show the [mainstream media] that we as the American Public are absolutely fed up with their journalistic malpractice."

Protests were planned nationwide outside the offices of major television and newspaper offices across the U.S.

Though the protest was not organized by "Tea Party" conservatives, many in the crowd were obviously members of that group too, including this man who dressed as a Minuteman and wore a tea pot.

Folks from all walks of life marched up and down Marietta Street in downtown Atlanta between CNN Center and the Atlanta-Journal Constitution offices.
