"The 9/11 widows have been "making waves" since about October 2001, and all the media folks are familiar (or should be familiar) with their political inclination and anti-Bush sentiment."

I agree with you. I just don't know if they knew of the Tides connection. If not, they should have before they blew this story all out of proportion.

"I'm not saying these folks should not have a voice, but it is deceptive to trot them out as representative of general sentiment. And, to try to "balance" it later, by giving time to other direct victims of 9/11 doesn't constitute balance at all."

This is very deceptive, but I expect nothing less from them. Has Katie Couric given equal time to the 9/11 Bush supporters? If so, I missed it.

I agree with you on that part, and I don't fault the media for not looking back to the finances. An honest media would know or ask whether there was a political component to a person's expression, and should have known the 9/11 widows and the Fire Union rep were politically active, politically against many Bush policies, and politically against GWB ... i.e., they are politically aligned with the DNC and actively advocate that.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if this story gets substantial play by the mass media. It darn well ought to, for the good of the Republic.
