MSM has been trying to create stories about Dems being pro/anti war...
Edited on Mon Aug-22-05 05:22 PM by jsamuel
I have seen two or three stories extrapolating on the silence of some and the outspokenness of others. They basically are claiming that if a Dem supports Cindy or speaks out now, they are against the war. All the other Dems are "splitting" and are not for an immediate withdraw.

Now, I don't know what is really going on (I hope the Dems all go full withdraw soon), but the press seems to be just making it up as they go here. Or am I wrong?

1. Disney owns ABC which owns KSFO radio which pays Melanie Morgan
Who is doing the counter demonstration at Crawford against Cindy Sheehan.

Ergo, ABC is paying for the counter demonstration at the same time it 'covers' the original story of Cindy Sheehan.

No one is asking Bush why, de facto, he is creating another Islamic Republic in the Middle East, this time in Iraq. That makes Saudi Arabia, Iran, and now Iraq. A united front against the US.

How dumb do you think this administration is ? Don't answer that...is the neocon's response !

13. Melanie Morgoon!
is a dried up frustrated bitch who can't accept the fact that USS Bu$h*t is sinking just as fast as her ratings have been.
She made a statement that Cindy and all the other war protesters, do so because they hate our country.
Yes Morgoon, we hate your country! Your country of bigotry, arrogance, lies, murder, non compassion, selfishness, and all your Amerikan fascist ways.
But we will allow you and your band of Moranites to exercise your freedom of expression. For you see Morgoon that is a precious right in our country, America!

2. We need to figure out what to do
to make the media either tell the truth or as O'Lielly says,

SHUUUUUUUUUUUT UP. I'm sick of their distorted, asskissing of this sick administration which is probably why I stopped bothering to watch them several years ago. It's good to hear that others are tuning them out also. Maybe soon, they'll catch a clue!

3. you aren't wrong . . .
i am sure repugs disagree too. Nonetheless it seems like it is REALLY REALLY important for corporate media to depict Dems as 'divided' etc. Why?

5. ...maybe, because there is a growing sentiment..
of un-rest, and the anti-war movement is beginning to coalesce the corp.media is trying to alter the focus by projecting division among the ranks.

10. Most went along with the Iraq War Resolution which was based on LIES
Lies provided by a politicized group within our own "intelligence" community; WHIG, OSP, and Judith Miller and her 'Curveball' BS from the NYTimes (official organ of disinformation).
