In the article, "Sheehan Arrested in House Gallery", CNN.com completely ignored the facts of Cindy Sheehan's meeting with President Bush in June 2004. Instead of reporting Cindy's own words to David Henson, staff writer for the Vacaville Reporter, CNN relied on talking points from Cindy's public relations team.
According to CNN:
"Sheehan and other relatives of troops killed in Iraq met with Bush during a visit to Fort Lewis, Washington, in April 2004, shortly after Sheehan's son was killed. During that meeting with Bush, the President refused to look at pictures of Sheehan's son, didn't want to hear about him and 'didn't even know Casey's name'."
That is completely different from Cindy's personal account of her meeting with President Bush back in June 2004. Cindy was interviewed by David Henson and the archived article is posted online here. According to the Henson article, Cindy said "I now know he's sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis." She went on to say, "I know he's sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he's a man of faith."
According to Henson, "The meeting didn't last long, but in their time with Bush, Cindy spoke about Casey and asked the President to make her son's sacrifice count for something. They also spoke of their faith."
Once again, the Liberal media chooses to report information that portrays President Bush in a negative light, while ignoring the facts staring them in the face.
It's the MSM so do you really need to ask.
bttt
Doug does -- he has her nailed...lol.

She's going to be on the Today show tomorrow morning. She's saying the police roughed her up.
Well Fox News (on the local affiliate) said that she was "talked to" by security tonight and that she tried to unfurl a flag.
Way I read it in the AP account (BEFORE I saw that post-speech news report in the affiliate's nightly news report), she was ARRESTED after refusing to conceal her SHIRT she had unveiled in protest.
Fox News is no friend of mine and never has been.
Any word on what happened to Sheehan after her removal from the house gallery?
What's a CNN?
Fox's Carl Cameron reported that when she entered the gallery and took off her coat, she was wearing an anti-war tee shirt. The police asked her to leave but she was "unresponsive." That's whey they booted the b*@#$...
...er...
..."escorted her out."
I believe they have a very nice facility for people like her back in her home town of Vacaville?
This isn't news. When she was front page material, they NEVER bothered to mention that she had met with the president (oh, and had kind words for him then) already. They carefully made it look as if he was completely ignoring her.
One more example of why you shouldn't waste time with MSM propaganda.
Clinton News Network
Communist News Network
...any others?
This is exactly why I'm about to give up on a Military Family database. Having families available for contact with the media is useless.
What does the law say in reguards to protesting inside the Senate?
Don't worry about her. She is so marginalized now that only the far Left and Libertarians even slightly care.
Run Cindy Run!!
What does the law say in reguards to protesting inside the Senate?
You Can't do it anywhere inside the Capital building.
