Local news still reporting that Cindy Sheehan unfurled a banner

[BanzaiBonnie]

Our local UPN (FOX 12) station here in Portland is still taking a national feed that says Cindy Sheehan was unfurling a banner. I callled the local news desk and was asked why someone would report it if it wasn't true. Aaaaeeieiiiii! Dim bulb

He asked me if I was there and I responded that I wasn't, but that Reuters is reporting that it was a T-shirt. He said their source is AP.

I told him I'm tired of sloppy journalism and if they can't do their job I can't use them as a trusted source. Mr. Dimbulb!


I am so pissed.

1. Introduce the station to Fairness & Accurcay on Reporting

This is a GREAT organization. They work to hold the feet of media to the fire of truth.

2. Rove's plan

Get the lie out FIRST. Most people will believe it and parrot it for days after the truth is finally revealed. Works for him every time, doesn't it?

3. Need organized response

Know any other DUers who live in your area or state? We need an organized response and pressure until they report the story correctly. In every county in America.
