WTF- anybody just see Face the Nation coverage of Crawford?

[zippy890]

who is Mike Allen - of WAPO - covering Cindy Sheehan & Camp Casey. He just said that Camp Casey was now a 'Circ Du Soleil' with a 5 point tent and catered meals consisteing of PETA, hippies and some other derogatory remark.

Who the F*** is he spewing this crap & why is being passed off as as a credible journalist?

He also said something like Cyndy has been largely discredited because of statement she has made.

I am roaring mad, no counter view was given ,and he didn't even show any pictures or do any interviews to back up his very biased and negative report.

going top get the transcripts later- we need to refute this guy, send e-mails -

:wtf:

[Halliburton]

1. good thing he is leaving WP

the Rove protectors at Time magazine could use him.

[Maestro]

2. I saw that idiot.

He was slamming Cindy whereever he could. He's probably the log-cabin lover of Jeff Gannon.

[zippy890]

6. Funny - I immediatley thought Jeff Gannon

when I saw that guy and heard what he said

[zoeb]

3. I saw that

he said Bushco might take Cindy more serious if it were little league dad and moms protesting. What an asshat!

[Maestro]

5. I live about at an hour and a half from Camp Casey

two hours top. I am one of those little league dads. If work hadn't been slamming so hard I would visit. I still might.

[bettyellen]

8. so if she had a penis, or her son was in little league instead of DEAD....

then she might have some cred with these assholes?
i doubt it. but it's a really offensive arguement against her.

[LibDemAlways]

9. Casey was an Eagle Scout for

God's sake. How much more American apple pie can you get than being the mother of an eagle scout?

What an ignorant jerk this guy is.

[flpoljunkie]

4. Simple.Allen trying to be clever while also shilling for the establishment

Anne Kornblut was just shilling for the establishment.

[DeepModem Mom]

7. The media is doing all it can to destroy Cindy and her supporters. --

if the other side sets up an impressive facility it will be seen as proof of their political smarts, skill and success.:mad:

[patdem]

10. This is the very reason the liberal blogosphere is doubling ahead of the

conservatives...if the media was 'liberal'..conservatives would be blogging, but as it happens the liberal bloggers have outgrown conservative bloggers by twice in the last couple of years. All we can do is scream at the TV and come here to complain. :grr:

I no longer watch TV so I don't really know what is in the 'mainstream' any longer.

[OneBlueSky]

11. subjecting yourself to talking heads of the tube . . .

is not good for the digestion . . . or for your mental health . . .

[blue sky at night]

14. I agree, adamantly refuse to watch........

it is bad for your mental and physical health. My hats are off to those who can, bless them........or I would not know what the MSM are lying about day to day.

[blm]

12. He's a Bush lackey...one of many employed by the Washington Post.

[Sunkiss BlueStar]

13. Another FUCKING Guckertt

Liar/Hypocrite/SOB/MAJOR LEAGUE ASSHOLE! I dont watch that shit either , if im not here im reading. and Where's * / hiding as usual from responsibility.

must be nice:grr:

[zippy890]

17. It just amazes me what passes as 'objective' reporting

Mike allen was exactly that. a right-wing shill like Gannon.

Welcome to DU sunkiss!

[zanne]

15. What do Cindy Sheehan and John Kerry have in common?

They've both been "Swiftwatered".(The Republican practice of turning a positive character trait into a character defect).

[OneTwentyoNine]

16. Have they compared Sheehan to Jane Fonda yet? That'll be next...

Just wait for it....

[NightOwwl]

18. THE WORST coverage EVER!

I just about sh*t my pants when I heard his comments. Here is his actual quote regarding the people at camp Casey (thank god for TIVO):

"Right now, it's PETA, hippies, Nadarites."

WTF! :wtf:

That is bullshit, just plain bullshit.

WRITE TO FACE THE NATION NOW AND TELL THEM WHAT YOU THINK OF THEIR SO-CALLED COVERAGE!

[e-mail]

Edited to add my email to Fuck The Nation:

Mike Allen played fast and loose with the facts today when reporting from Camp Casey.Thanks to TIVO, I have his actual quote: “"Right now, it's PETA, hippies, Nadarites."

Do you think the people watching your news show are idiots? Do you think we don’t get news from other sources? Do you think we haven’t seen the thousands of pictures from the camp, that show people that *gasp*, look just like you and me? This attempt to smear Cindy’s supporters as radical extremists is pure White House spin, and I was shocked to see Mike Allen regurgitate this spin as fact. Have we gone so far now that facts have no place in the news anymore?

[Clark2008]

20. While I agree that the folks there are NOT Peta, hippies and Nadarites

I have to ask what is wrong with BEING a member of Peta, being a hippie or liking Ralph Nadar?

Why do people like Allen believe it's so bad to be a member of any of these groups? Why is there a bad connotation? My parents were hippies, for God's sake, and they're wonderful people (well, my Mom is - my Dad's now a fundie - but that's a recent phenomenon).

:shrug:

[Imagevision]

19. So what r u going to cry? - we've heard Limbugh-Hannity, this week

add John Gibson's BS. to the Cindy smear\campaign , it's the only way they know how to deal with the truth when it doesn't favor them, and Frankly, Cindy is extremely difficult for them to handle because she speaks the truth and very large numbers of americans support her. People from Iraq suppoert her!!

I think she does an excellant job dealing/handling this sort of tripe.

[pretzel4gore]

21. it's just pigmedia, and this is the slopping of the hogs

aka bush voters, who need lotsa energy to think all those crazed thoughts:
:shrug: ;) :dilemma: :woohoo: :rofl: :patriot: :yoiks:
(after loading the simile thingy, might as well flaunt
:):o :9 :hippie: :mad: :smoke: :think:

[TexasLady]

22. my email...

Im a mom of four, and have two nephews that have been in Iraq. I go to Camp Casey daily to show my support for ALL mothers and fathers and loved ones who have lost soldiers in this illegal war.

Im a tax paying citizen who doesnt appreciate loose, inaccurate reporting by you or any other person.

I am there daily, and believe me, the majority of people there are like me...Moms and dads and brothers and sisters coming to support each other for a cause they believe in. NOT the so called noble cause this administration keeps trying to pretend exists.

Angry Mom of four kids who WONT be participating in this illegal war.

23. Cindy needs to come back to Crawford

Her triumphant return would re-energize everyone and bring every thing back in focus. I have heard she is not returning, I hope this is not true.

[Rose Siding]

24. Funny, it wasn't called "Cirque de Soleil" when BUSH used it last week!!!

....We are actually under the same Canopy that George used for his fundraiser last week ... hmmm does that mean they are cheap? Johnny Wolf, the owner of the peace house, said they chose the lowest bid.

25. The media isn't even trying to appear to be fair anymore.

They don't give a shit. They really don't.

They just push their Repuke/corporate agenda and tell those of us who want real information to shove it.

I've stopped watching. Who needs that aggravation? The Internet can inform much better than the stupid television.
