Outrageous article from the BBC News re: Camp Casey
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4184656.stm

Don't you just love "fair and balanced" reporting like this?

(excerpt)
Growing scepticism

Ms Sheehan, who reportedly broke down in tears after spotting a large banner with her son's face at the camp when she arrived there, is determined to continue her struggle.

"Even when I was in California, half of me was always here," she said.

About a dozen protesters have continued the vigil in her absence.

Wow -- about a dozen of us!

There's also this:

"Recent opinion polls suggest more than 50% of Americans think the Iraq conflict is going badly."

Don't you just love the way they manage to shave the numbers? Did these folks get a phone call from Karl Rove or what?

1. Hmm. Usually get better from the BBC.
Maybe they just put a shitty reporter on the story?

5. I wasn't there when Cindy had to leave
But even early on in the protest there were hundreds of folks the weekend of the 13th. Jeeze, there are more than a dozen folks working at the Peace House alone!

This is ridiculous. The entire Anglosphere's press is totally corrupted.
