The media paints Cindy Sheehan as a mother living grief to the edge. I just watched MSNBC doing their tear jerk "reporting" about how this poor woman only wants to meet with President Bush so she can lay her anti-war protest on him. I saw another clip on the Fox News Channel where Cindy said she wanted to tell him how anti-war she now is.
What this report or most of the media don't tell you is that Cindy Sheehan has already met with President Bush privately and when she was interviewed after that meeting she praised the President, said he was a compassionate man and had no war protest on her lips. What is different now?
Here's what the MRC had to say about a story on CBS - QUOTE: The CBS Evening News on Wednesday devoted a second segment to promoting the vigil of Bush-hater Cindy Sheehan. Bill Plante noted the obvious as he provided more publicity: "She's gotten a lot of media attention by camping out on the road that leads to the President's ranch." He pointed out that she "understands that it's very difficult for the White House to dismiss anyone in her position" and touted how "she also knows she's not alone. One recent poll shows that one out of three people now say it's time to bring all the troops home." Anchor Bob Schieffer ridiculously asked: "I wonder why the President doesn't meet with her." Plante replied that "you'd think it would be an easy thing to do," but noted that would lead to him having to "meet with a lot of people." Plante did point out that Sheehan did meet Bush last year, but "she says that wasn't a satisfying meeting." Plante didn't note her praise then for Bush.
Cindy says if President Bush doesn't take an hour (world leaders might not get an hour with the President whether Republican or Democrat) to meet with her so she can tell him how immoral he is and how illegal his war is she will move her "protest" to Washington when he finishes his vacation. He is on a five week vacation at his ranch while Senators and Congressmen/women are on their same summer recess.
Does this woman really have the money to go to Washington D.C. and keep up the protest? She is supported by left wing ultra liberal groups. She is on Michael Moore's website. I would imagine that since her protest is geared more toward trying to embarass than to meet with the President, she will have backing. Now who would back Cindy Sheehan other than the media that only reports part of the story? Well there's Michael Moore and ........:duel
