Brian Wilson just announced a story on Crawford coming right up after this break.
I've been watching Fox all morning to see if they'd report on the pro-America, pro-troops, pro-Bush rally.
Finally, Brian Wilson says they'll report......and naturally, they lead off with LOTS of shots of Cindy and her followers...then, Greg Kelly reports that "pro-war" people will soon be there, he shows some shots of tents with eagle, medals, signs supporting our troops and then the arrest of one of the 'war supporters'. Gee, how fair and balanced.
I'm glad they're giving some coverage but, the bias of the media is driving me nuts....
They didn't show much, just a bit of canned footage taken at the two protest sites...Sheehan's, and Camp Qualls.
Showed Greg Kelly standing in front of the hay bales where they always stand. Kept saying the Bush side is the "pro WAR" side. Thanks for nuttin' FNC. (Just kidding, please don't flame me about how lucky we are to have them instead of only CNN and MSNBC.)
Kelly mentioned the name of the caravan tour, and said that the estimate on numbers expected on both sides "vary widely". Said the caravan will be arriving "later today", and they will have reports later on.
Did a tiny bit on Mr. Quall's Marine son who was killed in the battle for Falluja, and how strongly Mr. Qualls opposes Cindy Sheehan.
Talked about Cindy's group "waiting there for the President to come and meet with her". Barf, and rubbish!
Why don't their reports inform the ignorant, for a change?
Thanks!
For those of you w.o. access to FNC (you probably already figured this out - but for those who may be reading later)
#2,3 - Slime's camp
#4 - Mr. Qualls' set-up with his son's items
#5 - Mr. Qualls' son and friends
#6 - Supposed 'Bush Supporter' refusing to following Sherrif's instrucions
#7 - Mr. Qualls' son
#8 & 9 - Arrest of supporter
I had MSNBC on when the financial program were on FNC earlier. They had a reporterette in Crawford and showed both sides, said they'd have more later, too.
You and me both. I find it amazing that the Ditch Witch and her anti-american crowd has been allowed to live in the Ditch, for weeks now, put up crosses on public land and make a pest of themselves. I bet you they have broken all kinds of laws with nothing happening to them. One Bush supporter misbehaves and gets arrested in a blink of an eye. I'm tired of the double standard.
I loved the pictures....thanks
BTW, I noticed that a new LIVE thread is up under Breaking News...dunno if you guys want to go there or stay here...if you stay here...I'll bounce back and forth...
I am so antsy since I didn't get to go to Crawford, that I could probably bounce between 10 threads! LOL
FOX really does need to fire whoever it is who puts those screen messages up.
...bounce between 10 threads...
LOL. I've been doing that ...clicking like crazy...trying to find news and pics of the pro-America, pro-troops, pro-Bush people in Crawford. One Fox shot showed sign of Protest Warriors. WE WANT FREEPER PICS! Ohhh, wish I was there....
Ditch Witch
LOL
Thanks for posting those screen shots!
BTW, LIVE thread here:

I think GWB should kick Sheehan in the pants, by going over and visiting the pro Bush camp, and thanking them for their support. I guarantee the Sheehan camp will go ballistic and try something rash. Have video and cameras ready.
