How The MSM Kills A Story

I just checked the websites for CNN, USA Today, the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Boston Globe, and the Miami Herald, and there was absolutely nothing on the front pages of these newspapers about Cindy Sheehan’s vigil in front of Dubya’s ranch estate.

Oh, there was other Bushco propaganda to be sure, including The Grand High Exalted Idiot’s proclamation that this supposed highway bill of his, which includes funding for that bridge to nowhere in Alaska, will spur our economy and create jobs, or some such nonsense. But as a major headline story not relegated to the middle of the first section buried under the women’s lingerie ads, Cindy Sheehan is irrelevant to these supposedly august news organizations.

Only the L.A. Times carried her story on the front page (a fine paper I read as much as I could while in Las Vegas a couple of months ago). Kudos to them.

One more thing: speaking of all things MSM, The Bulldog Manifesto (which has been absolutely smoking white hot recently) has the mother of all great posts on 9/11 and what two British journalists have found (re: one MSM organization paying attention, though not in the U.S. of course). It's an interesting mix of fact and theory presented well, I thought. It's something to be considered by thoughtful people, whatever their politics are.

The pathetic Mrs. Cindy Sheehan has now taken sides with the jihadists who killed her son. If he could come back from beyond the grave, he'd curse his mother.

Where is Mr. Patrick Sheehan? Why doesn't he assert authority over his insane wife and tell her to shut up, or just divorce her? There's no excuse for this sort of behavior. It's not surprising that she is being used by Michael Moore, who is the #1 American traitor of the present.

The war we're fighting against fundamentalist Islam isn't just over there--it's here, too, and the Legacy Media has become, by and large, a Fifth Column of traitors who neither know nor care why America is the last, best hope of mankind, striving for a peaceful and free world.

Oxcart,

Your a world class jackass who spouts off bullshit without examing the facts.

I dare you to say what you just said to Cindy Sheehan's face. Tell a mom who lost her kid in a war that she's shit.

I dare you.

But you won't. You're a pussy who hides behind a computer. Typical jackass bullshit. Why don't you go to Iraq with Halliburton and shoot Iraqis if you're so wound up?

Traitor. Jackass. Loser.
