In what seems like a counterpoint to all the talk about a liberally biased MSM, ABC News 7 in SF/Oakland ran a story on who is funding Cindy Sheehan’s summer camp in Crawford.
It is about what you would expect. A grieving mother wants [ to ask the President why her son had to die | to get a little attention to help deal with grief ] and the story gets picked up by a few news outlets. Then a few more. Then the big money political vultures swoop down and turn the whole thing into a media circus.
And to prove that Newton’s third law hold true for politics, Bush supporters and pushing a “Cindy you don’t speak for me tour”.
As someone who had a family member serving in Iraq (and who may return) I can’t honestly say how I’d deal with his death. Do you grieve privately, or do you use the loss God has given you to do what you already think is right. And if you do the latter, does that make you a Media Whore like Cindy Sheehan and Lisa Beamer?
