How Phony can they get? (Media busted at Crawford!)

Here’s a touching scene, featuring Cindy Sheehan and the Reverend Al Sharpton, in front of crosses, looking solemn and sad.

Now let’s zoom out and see the media swarming around this manufactured event:

More pictures of this moving tableau at Getty Images. Co-starring “Army Mom.”

UPDATE at 8/28/05 5:42:51 pm:

Several LGF readers point out the Jewish star at lower right of the second photograph. Somebody tell CODEPINK not to let the Nazis know.

Now I understand that story posted on FR about the photographer who got into a tussle with Cind-bag's bodyguard about being among the crosses. It seems that on some occasions, one can actually take pictures among the crosses, but if one is exposing blatant fraud by the left, it is no longer OK.

How Clintonesque.

My friend, you have just coined a new word: Clintonesque.

A picture is worth 1000 words. In this case most of them would be swear words.

ROFL!! Ya know, I just don't think their little Woodstock II is going quite like they planned. ;-)

We know our role right? Copy the site, the photo and hit send to all MSM and nuMedia sources. Some will report it, some will cover it up, but those that do the latter will at least know they've been busted.

Great post.
All that's missing is Bill Clinton wiping a tear from his eye.

The formally MSM in a nutshell. Notice the smile on the guy in the white shirt, he's loving it.

Cindy's such a media slut, isn't she? That's what this is all about. She took to the limelight like a duck to water and what is she gonna do when the Hurricane and everything else means the press gets bored with her. They're using her until they can get out of Crawford, though her sell-by date is definitely up. Next week when they're reporting the aftermath of the storm and Robert's appointment to the bench, she'll wonder what hit her and there's no getting them back. She's damaged goods now. Nobody, as far as I can tell, is showing those pictures of her with Sharpton, other than FR and LGF. I can't wait! I'm not as charitable as some. I hope it hurts good when she loses all the attention and wonders why.

Why am I reminded of that travesty known as the Paul Wellstone funeral?

Many thanks for the ping!

It's up to US to spread the truth, since the MSM won't do their job.

PR Machine Behind Cindy Sheehan?

Cindy Sheehan kneels before a cross with her son's name on it, touches his picture, wipes her tears. It's an outpouring of emotion that is part of a scheduled news event organized daily for the television, radio and print reporters who crowd in to capture a mother's grief.

[...]

There is real reluctance to talk about who's paying, and the P.R. machine that's promoting Cindy Sheehan, but not everyone here is completely comfortable with it.

Gold Star mother Karen Meredith came here from Mountain View. Her son Ken Ballard died last year.

Karen Meredith, Gold Star mother: "Sometimes things don't feel quite right to me. They don't feel wrong, but maybe that's how they do it in the marketing business."

ABC7's Mark Matthews: "You feel you're part of a marketing business?"

Karen Meredith: "Possibly. Yeah I think so."

" Is that picture for real??"

I think so. Lucianne.com ran it 4 years ago with a tag of “courtesy political digest”.
