Leslie presenting "balanced" story on Cindy. |
|
He's going to present "both" sides to the story.
Right!!!
62% of the country is against the war and so both sides of the story deserve equal weight.
Rubbish!

1. I don't understand why they have to show the "other side". |
|
I am listening to the lady. She definitely drank the kool-aid.

6. Gee, Leslie sure is solicitous of minority opinion |
|
But then, I remember how he always made sure he had an equal number of anti-war folks in late 2002 and early 2003 when it might have made a difference. Oh wait, no he didn't.
How curious that Cindy can't just get interviewed by herself.

...the guest is one Georgette Frank, who also lost a son in Iraq. Th caption below her reads "Still supports President Bush."
I Googled Georgette Frank, and from what I can tell her son was in the Marines and she's been on some kind of Marine parents/families website. She also regarded a peace memorial as disrespectful of her son. Further Googling could not determine whether she has some political agenda.
It's really sickening to see the MSM bend over backwards to ensure that the pro-war stance is carefully represented. It's pretty easy to be gung-ho back at a Georgetown cocktail party.

9. It was the same ol' kool aid. |
|
Opposing the war is not supporting the troops... blah, blah, blah.
Pro war went first, then Cindy so Cindy got both the last word and a longer segment. Actually a pretty good segment all things considered.
