CNN just showed Cindy Sheehan in Washington

[highplainsdem]

First mention of her I've noticed on CNN for quite a while. But unfortunately it was less than a minute; they'll have Texas governor Rick Perry up next.

Perry's on now...

Forgot to mention that they just showed Cindy addressing a crowd; you couldn't hear anything she was saying.

1. Maybe the events this weekend will get a mention early...

*fingers crossed*

2. Hopefully

Looking at Bush's poll numbers and everything. I'm not going to hold my breath though. Did they mention the one in 2003?

3. No, no mention of that.

4. I was at one of them in 2003

The one in January got a little coverage - we had about 300,000 marchers, IMO (cops said 100,000 and the organizers said 500,000. I generally assume it is halfway between those 2 estimates).

But not nearly enough. We should be front page across the whole damn country.

Maybe we have a chance now, though - coverage seems to be less bush-worshipping lately according to people here (I have no cable so I don't see it first hand). Some think it is because the media is 'waking up', whereas I am more cynical, I think it is because bush's numbers are tanking so the media is going after the ratings. Either way, I will stay optimistic :)

5. I hope that CNN

will cover some of the march on Saturday ... we should give them + feedback for any coverage

I fear it may be Rita Rita Rita.

6. I'm hoping they cover Cindy Sheehan.

If the march is big enough, it will give Cindy a platform. Then she can speak for the crowd.
