How Phony can they get? (Media busted at Crawford!)
Little Green Footballs ^ | 8-28-05 | Charles Johnson

Here’s a touching scene, featuring Cindy Sheehan and the Reverend Al Sharpton, in front of crosses, looking solemn and sad.

Now let’s zoom out and see the media swarming around this manufactured event:

More pictures of this moving tableau at Getty Images. Co-starring “Army Mom.”

UPDATE at 8/28/05 5:42:51 pm:

Several LGF readers point out the Jewish star at lower right of the second photograph. Somebody tell CODEPINK not to let the Nazis know.

Now that Sheehan is no longer "front page news" being replaced by Katrina, does she pack up and go home?

They made it appear like Jihad Cindy has mass support. When you get past the MSM stage-managed picture, there's no there there! What frauds!

And...just happened to see the little flag at the cemetery and stopped to pick it up...just like the tears he shed at the funeral of Ron Brown but only AFTER he knew the camera saw him LAUGHING with whomever that guy was.

Yet the OLD media will not expose this, not even FNC will expose this travesty.

This is why I really miss the Rush TV show. He would have been all over this.

Too bad we don't have a FR-TV.

IF FSTV can spew liberal hate on video with one satelite company, the SAME company should allow FR-TV.


Heck why not just have video of the Rush substitute hosts or video of Righttalk?

I digress.

This should be exposed.

makes you wonder what else the MSM has "cropped" to covey their agenda stories.

perhaps the whole CNN, alphabet, bbc media should just have an "editorial" flashing during broadcast.

Good point ..The whole thing is disgusting .She has no class and no self respect . She's a wacked out puppet for the Left. When they are done with her they will thow her down the toilet bolw in a heartbeat. I predict the woman will eventually have a breakdown . What a pathetic disgrace she is.

Photo cropping that distorts the actual event is generally recognized as dishonest journalism, and I'd bet you could make a good case with editors that ran the cropped version, without showing the actual scene.

There are cases where a closeup or cropped photo can be used honestly, but I do not think this is one of them. The cropped version greatly distorts the actual event.
