Vigil Photos prove MSM Bias.
I've been looking at all the wonderful photos of the thousands of vigils that were held last night in Cindy's honor. But everyone looks like "real" people. They look like my next-door-neighbor; my co-worker; my teacher; my doctor; well, you get my drift.

So where are all those left-wing wackos and extremists I keep hearing about? I mean, jeez, MSM has been pounding it my head for days that Cindy and her "ilk" are just a bunch of far-left radicals. Could they have been *gasp* lying to me! :eyes:

?

2. How much you want to bet that we see lots of...
tie-dye shirts and long-haired hippies in MSM coverage today. Not that there is anything wrong with tie-dye shirts and long-haired hippies :7, but heaven forbid they would show a true cross-section of the folks who held/attended the vigils.

P.S. I thought that candle looked like a cucumber, too. Glad it wasn't just me :silly:

I've noticed that too. Like you said, there's nothing wrong with that but it's interesting to see the media putting forward this very narrow idea of what an anti-war protester looks like. And if there's anyone wearing a peace symbol button or, better yet, LOTS of peace symbol buttons the cameras just glom right onto them; no doubt trying to cast them as 60s hangers-on.

On edit: I have dreadlocks, wear a bandana and a couple earrings. I'm sure they'd be more than willing to give me my few seconds of fames.
