"In fact, I was watching the local Fox (L.A.) outlet last night and in their plentiful coverage of the Sheehan Crawford campout, they were extolling her as "the leader of the growing anti-war movement." [I know... barf] Then, they featured "candlelight vigils" in Studio City and I forgot elsewhere with idiots holding up "Stop the War Now" signs, etcetera."

The candlelight vigil in Decatur got the same kind of coverage on at least one local Atlanta station (11 Alive). The "reporter" who was out there talking to people never mentioned that Axis Cindy has already met with the president and originally made favorable comments about the meeting. He ended his report along the lines of, "the people here just want the president to meet with grieving mom Cindy Sheehan for five minutes."

Needless to say, the "reporter" failed to report quite a lot.

It would be absolutely ridiculous for the President to even give her 5 more minutes out of his busy schedule. And for what, what could he possibly answer that hasn't already been answered the first time he met with her. The problem is the media, they are feasting on this story. Maybe if they just left and didn't give her the satisfaction of being on tv, she would leave! By the way, I don't know if any of you know this, but there is a tv commercial playing in the Waco, Temple, Killeen area ONLY right now. It is Cindy Sheehan stating her ever so redundant views and come to find out, it is being paid for by "BEN" from Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Found this out the other night and thought some of you might like to know.
