Is Cindy Sheehan getting local media coverage?
Here in Milwaukee the local ABC affiliate carried the protest on tonight's news.

Others?

4. I live in Houston, and last night, on the 10 o'clock news at night,
they featured Cindy's story as the 3rd one into the newscast, almost at the top. Showed video footage, and a bit of an interview with her. So it is getting coverage here...

8. Sacramento local news also. She's from Vacaville which is not far &
I wonder if that's an additional reason for covering the story. But at least her Crawford stakeout has gotten some local coverage for the last two days that I've seen.

Both local stations had a small piece. They are an NBC and a CBS affiliate--one in eastern Ohio, one across the river in Wheeling, WV.

12. my local (baltimore) news @ noon carried a short story about her...
only about a minute long, but pretty informative, they gave background, short interview with her and shots of the protestors...i was mighty impressed.

14. MSNBC, this morning
had a short feature on her, including a video of her making a statement.

This is getting mileage, I think, because it is August after all, and they are looking for things to cover. In addition, they all know how unpopular this war has become. I hope this builds some momentum,so that next month's Washington DC protest will get the attention it deserves.
