TRENTON, Oct. 22 /Christian Newswire/ -- Yesterday, thousands of New Jersey citizens showed up on the Capitol steps in Trenton to show their support for marriage between one man and one woman. "Mainstream media" in New Jersey, Philadelphia and New York were notified of the marriage event, hosted by the New Jersey Family Policy Council, yet not one member of the press showed up. When the press were contacted by phone for confirmation that someone would attend the event to cover it, callers were met with hostility about the subject matter by many members of the press.

The results of the marriage amendment efforts in New Jersey will affect marriage in our society across the nation and anti-marriage groups realize this. The pressure groups seem to be infiltrating the mainstream media newsrooms quite heavily and blocking news about conservative issues and the pro-family, pro-marriage movement. It is an abuse of the press and the overriding question is: Are values voters being marginalized? The answer is obvious.
