The AP Uses Code Pink As A Photo Source

Sweetness & Light ^ | July 5, 2006 | N/A

[Sam Hill]

The DNC's Associated Press is now using that viciously America-hating groups Code Pink and the Iraq Veterans Against The War as sources for their news photographs:

In this photograph provided by Codepink/Iraq Veterans Against the War, a man identified as Iraq war veteran Geoffrey Millard, is lead away by U.S. Park Police police officers after being arrested for attempting to join the Independence Day parade Tuesday, July 4, 2006 in Washington. Millard had walked into the parade with a sign that read: Support the Troops, Bring Them Home Now. (AP photo/Codepink/Iraq Veterans Against the War, Julie Cunigilo)

In this photograph provided by Codepink/Iraq Veterans Against the War, Chloe Jon-Pau, a 71-year-old member of the group Codepink, is confronted by a U.S. Park Police police officer as she attempts to join the Independence Day parade Tuesday, July 4, 2006 in Washington. Jon-Pau and an Iraqi War veteran were arrested by police for attempting to disrupt the parade. (AP Photo/Codepink, Iraq Veterans Against the War)

By the way, the hero Geoffrey Millard once told the Village Voice:

“I signed up to be a civilian soldier. I signed up to help my community, and because I was and I am still a patriot,” Millard said. “But my First Ammendemt (sic) rights aren’t being trampled by Al Qaeda. Saddam Hussein never tapped my phone. Right now, the enemies of the constitution are domestic. As Malcolm X said, it’s time to stop sitting and start standing.”

That's right. Al Qaeda never trampled on anybody's rights.

Anyway, this is probably just a smart business decision on the part of the AP’s management. Why bother to send their own photographers to an event?

Just get the propaganda straight from the source, and cut out the middle men.

And lest we forget, this is Code Pink's usual fare:

This is one of the Code Pink crew mocking wounded US soldiers outside of the Walter Reed Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland. The sign says "Maimed For A Lie"

Maybe the next time he'll get lucky and the Associated Press will pay him for his noble efforts.

The sign says "Maimed For A Lie"

I thought it said "Mimed for a Lie," and wasted a bunch of grey cells trying to figure that one out. Code Pink is disgusting, and I think 99.99999% of the American public knows it.

[Sam Hill]

"Code Pink is disgusting, and I think 99.99999% of the American public knows it."

The AP doesn't seem to.

[HAL9000]

With all due disrespect to AP and code pink, if the tagline attributed the photo to the correct source, this is not a big issue.

[hsalaw]

The AP is part of that 0.00001%.

Junk journalism.

"With all due disrespect to AP and code pink, if the tagline attributed the photo to the correct source, this is not a big issue."

You don't think there's anything wrong with a wire service paying an anti-America propaganda operation for their work?

And that they then present their photos as representing the news?

Okay...

BTW, do you have any quick of examples of the AP presenting photos from some group like the Minute Men or even the GOP -- and presenting them as news photos?

[redpoll]

The good news is that no one that I know trusts or believes what they read in the media. Even the liberals I know think its biased. Photos like these only reinforce the bias that already exists in the head of the viewer. The moment I saw the words "Code Pink" I knew what kind of crap would be served up. The Left just doesn't understand that they no longer command the crowds at the rallies in Nurnberg or the eager students at the Berkeley student union.

[HAL9000]

"You don't think there's anything wrong with a wire service paying an anti-America propaganda operation for their work?"

If AP paid code pink for the photos, that would definitely be a problem. What is the evidence of payment?

"BTW, do you have any quick of examples of the AP presenting photos from some group like the Minute Men or even the GOP -- and presenting them as news photos?"

Sorry, I don't have them handy. I'll speculate that AP has transmitted photos provided by the GOP (without payment) - probably during GOP national conventions.

The Minute Men should try to provide photos to AP too. If the AP rejects them as unnewsworthy, that would be an interesting topic for discussion.

Wire services commonly transmit photos from various sources, including the government, political parties and just about any other source you can imagine. Here is AP transmitting a photo provided by a book publisher.

It would be more compelling to show that a pattern of bias exists in AP third-party photo transmission, rather than to draw conclusions about a common practice from a couple of photos.

[Sam Hill]

Gee, I guess you're right.

Unless we see a pattern, there's nothing untoward about the AP using photos provided by a group like CodePink for news events.

What was I thinking?

[HAL9000]

If there is any evidence of payment, please let us know.

I did find several other "photo provided by" captions at Yahoo News.

[Sam Hill]

For those of you playing at home, this is a typical list of the AP using photos provided for them:

http://tinyurl.com/gmd7f

You'll see the National Zoo, Boeing, the White House, etc...

Code Pink sticks out like a sore (Americ-hating) thumb.

[Sam Hill]

"If there is any evidence of payment, please let us know."

I'll be sure to do that.

And thanks again for setting me straight.

The next time I see propaganda parading at news, I'll know where to come to have it explained away so authoritatively.

Geoffrey Millard was an African-American studies major at the University at Buffalo when he was called to active duty in his National Guard unit.

[Sam Hill]

(AP photo/Codepink/Iraq Veterans Against the War, Julie Cunigilo)

Julie Cuniglio (sic) is actually a member of Cindy Sheehan's Gold Star Families For Peace.

Funny that the AP didn't mention that.

[Sam Hill]

"Geoffrey Millard was an African-American studies major at the University at Buffalo when he was called to active duty in his National Guard unit."

Reminds me of Woody Allen's Bananas:

"Why did l quit college? I could've been something today."

"What would you have been?"

"I don't know. I was in the Black Studies program. By now, I could've been black."

[kcvl]

Geoffrey Millard, had a different experience. He chose to go to Iraq even though he knew this was “an illegal and immoral war.” His ambition was to raise awareness to the public…if he survived the battles.

He started his presentation by showing his boots to everyone. He confessed he had spent 13 months in Iraq and during that time he had never worn another pair of shoes. “These boots have never been washed,” Said Millard. “There’s still mud on them. There’s still oil on them. There’s still blood on them. I was in Iraq in 2004-2005. This is an illegal and immoral war. We invaded a country that never attacked the US. It violates the UN charter. Why then did we go to war? Army regulation 525-13 states the definition of terrorism: There must be violence or the threat of violence and the motivation must be political, religious, or ideological. Let’s say Bush was right and we did it because of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) – a political reason. We didn’t find any. Why are we still there? The next obstacle was Saddam Hussein – another political reason. We found him; he’s on trial. Now the next reason for the war was fighting for democracy, which is ideological. But the elections in Iraq are a fraud. This is not a democracy. They are a fraud because we picked their candidates. You tell me: ‘But Jeff, a higher percentage of the population in Iraq voted than percentage in America.’ Yes, that’s right. But it’s still a fraud.”

Millard grew up in a poor area where the only people who were respected were pimps and drug dealers. This had an impact on his childhood and the way he perceived life. “So this is all I wanted: respect. I didn’t want to do drugs or join gangs. Instead I joined the army—the biggest gang in the world. Yes, that’s right. They have their signs and signals; they wear the same uniform. I was 17 when this happened. It was fun. I got my dick hard. I blowed shit up. I became an explosive expert. What they don’t tell you though is that they train you this to kill people. A single mine can cut a tank in half. We still have them in Korea, in Bosnia, in Iraq. Imagine what would happen to a child when he finds one. The media say we are rebuilding schools, instead of building them. We’re rebuilding them because we bombed them. We bombed schools with children inside. Yes, that’s right. You think we only bombed schools at night? We bombed hospitals with patients in them. I knew this war was illegal. I didn’t want to go, but I didn’t stand up for myself.” When the war started, Millard had three choices: go to Canada, go to prison and get locked up in solitary, or go to war. He chose the third one, hoping that one day, if he survived, he would come back and teach people about what is hidden behind the curtains.

Media whores, Geoffrey Millard & Cindy Sheehan

Millard said that he turned against war in general while his New York state-based unit, which worked security at Ground Zero on Sept. 11, 2001, was active in Iraq while he felt his services were needed more during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina along the Gulf Coast.

Iraq War veteran Sgt. Geoffrey Millard issues a challenge to all those with “Support Our Troops” magnets on their cars: Visit a VA hospital—Millard visits the one in Buffalo, N.Y., where he lives. “I go there all the time … see the conditions they are living in and how they are sleeping on a thin mattress on a piece of plywood, go watch them die of Gulf War Syndrome … and understand that our homeless problem in America consists largely of veterans, 33 percent according to the Department of Defense.”

The event is sponsored by Veterans for Peace Chapter 27, $5-$10 suggested donation.

Geoffrey Millard

"..Geoffrey Millard was an African-American studies major at the University at Buffalo when he was called to active duty in his National Guard unit. His unit, previously attached to New York State, was nationalized—or put under the Commander in Chief’s chain of command, given some training, and then deployed to Iraq. Sergeant Millard spent 13 months in Tikrit, Iraq as an Infantryman. His main duties consisted of gathering information and intelligence for a Brigadier General..."

Lol, The guy is a weirdo to begin with! He is one of the radicalized who identify with the so called oppressed groups and hates the group he belongs to. Sort of a self hating asshole.

Julie Cuniglio, Gold Star Families for Peace

Occupation: Writer/Activist

By Julie Cuniglio

To all the neo-Christians (who are giving the rest of us a bad name)

I stand, transfixed by the idiocy I see taking place on the Senate floor. In a time of war, when so many Americans and innocents are dying daily, at a time of economic struggle, when so many Americans and others are out of work, at a time of tragedy, when so many Katrina victims are struggling to rebuild their lives we're focusing on.sex.

That's right, all ye who would self-righteously screech that we're fighting for family values. You're spending the resources that should be devoted to all the real problems facing this world on arguing about sex. And, what's more, you're losing. Because there is no way possible that the Senate's going to pass the amendment you have in mind. They don't have the votes. They're not even close.

More...

Because, my little flock of neo-Christians.it worked the first two times. George Bush rallied all of you with three words: abortion and gay marriage. Suddenly, all of you had a mission. Save the babies and keep the couples boy-girl-boy-girl. Your life had purpose. Possibly for the first time, you could feel superior to everyone else. You were, finally, on the 'winning' team.

[kcvl]

Julie Cuniglio of Plano grew up with a mother who was a journalist in “the only liberal family in our small town.”

[kcvl]

Cuniglio’s 23-year-old daughter secured a leave of absence from her scholarship-funded college studies to pursue peace activism alongside her mother. Cuniglio’s son, also 23, takes his activism to work: He works in the Truth in Advertising department of the Better Business Bureau in Dallas.

[kcvl]

Cuniglio’s husband is their anchor at home, managing the household and juggling the finances even when tours take her away from her work as an IT consultant for months at a time. “He can get frustrated,” she admits. “Sometimes, he’ll say ‘Just come home and let’s pay the bills!’

[Anti-Bubba182]

Geoffrey Millard

".. Millard, 25, of Buffalo, N.Y., walked with a shorter gate because of an injury to his leg he received while serving in Tikrit, Iraq, with the 42nd Infantry. He worked as an assistant to a general he declined to name because he still has a year left on his contract. Because of his physical disabilities, Millard said he is hoping for a medical discharge from the National Guard.

“I just can’t do my job anymore. I have what’s called IT Band Syndrome, plus a number of other things,” he said, explaining that the constant stress on his leg from carrying gear is causing it to chronically tighten..."

Basically he has a bad knee and wants medicaled out from being the General's goffer. This is no front line soldier from the looks of it.

[Anti-Bubba182]

"..secured a leave of absence from her scholarship-funded college studies to pursue peace activism.."

I wonder what screwball program she was in?

[gondramB]

>>With all due disrespect to AP and code pink, if the tagline attributed the photo to the correct source, this is not a big issue.<<

In my experience helping run an early internet based new gathering service, mainline media outlets will take photos and film from from anyone willing to provide it for free. Its only when money is involved that they consider the source. I'm sure they'd take photos from us too.

[kcvl]

It sounds like Julie writes fiction as much as Hillary Rodham Clinton. Maybe she was around when Bill Clinton remembered "black churches burning in Arkansas".



From: Julie Cuniglio

I was raised in Hollandale, Mississipi, by parents who taught me from the youngest age that we were all created equal. This was not the safest opinion to have at that time.

Our home, the home my father built, caught fire twice during my childhood under suspicious circumstances. I was known, from the earliest age, as a liberal and troublemaker for my views of equality for all men and women.

My sisters and I had the only 'integrated' birthday parties and I was well known for having climbed over a fence at the age of 7 (the fence that divided the white section of town from the 'colored') and organizing an impromptu beauty pageant starring the friends I'd make across that fence, friends who were, as you might guess, African-American. At the stores I refused to allow the clerks to 'push' me to the head of the line ahead of the African American shoppers, and, as a teenager, my best friend, Pam, was African-American.

My grandmother took in a local family who was having financial problems, gave them a section of her property, and the small home my great-grandmother had lived, and died, in. They became her closest friends and she 'adopted' their children as her own grandchildren until her health failed and she was forced to move into my great-aunt's home, where she eventually died. My grandmother's name was Nell Mathews. She was the widow of Ace Mathews, my grandfather. The grandfather that helped shape the views that turned me into the activist I eventually became. The grandfather who taught me, from my earliest age, that no man was worth less than another.

I was thrown out of the Methodist Church's Vacation Bible School, at age 5, for telling the teacher that if "God loved us all" 'us all' included 'colored' people. Picking me up on the front steps of the Methodist Church was the proudest moment of my mother's life. She, too had been booted from a local church, for teaching God's love for all men, women and children, of all colors, to her Sunday School students. Ace Mathews' legacy doesn't stop with my mother or me.

My son is a Social Justice Scholar. He has worked tirelessly, since the age of 11, with the homeless population in our Texas town. He plans to go into government service, with the hopes of changing the laws that discriminate against the poor and result in prison populations that are are nearly all minority.

My daughter studies government; she, too, has worked with the homeless since the age of 12, and hopes to use her education to help the economically disadvantaged climb from beneath the poverty line into a position of equality in their communities (for those of you who are as uneducated as 'author' Charles Sudduth, you should be aware: a large percentage of the economically disadvantaged are minorities.)

My sister works full-time for an organization in Mississippi that seeks to record and honor its rich blues heritage, organizing concerts by blues greats and the next generation of blues greats (again, for those of you less educated, this is not a predominently caucasian population.) One of Ace Mathews' grandsons is a minister in an integrated Mississippi church, and another is a missionary working overseas with decidedly non-caucasian populations, helping them find their way out of the poverty they were born into.

The most tragic fact is that your organization, an organization that, seemingly, has the noblest of intentions, did not even bother to verify the validity of what you're publishing, or the credentials of 'author' Charles Sudduth.

My sister spoke with Charles Sudduth's mother recently. She was horrified at the lies her son continues to write. She was ESPECIALLY horrified to discover that he was doing so on a web site registered, ILLEGALLY in her name. You are promoting the fiction of a man who would place his own 70+ year old mother in jeopardy in order to create a few moments in the limelight. The last web provider he published this nonsense on dropped him QUICKLY when contacted by the office of the Attorney General of Mississippi.

It seems that slander is a crime, even in Mississippi. I appreciate and honor your organization's mission statement. However, you will not promote your cause, albeit a good cause, by slandering Ace Mathews, who was a good and noble man. So, I am requesting, politely, that you remove his slanderous meanderings from your site.

If you do not comply, I will take legal action against your organization. As an activist well-versed in the laws related to the operation of 501(c)3 organizations, I can assure you that the Southern Regional Council does not want to defend lawsuits that could threaten future grant dollars.

I will not hestitate to research and contact each and every sponsoring and granting supporter of the Southern Regional Council to advise them that you are publishing and promoting unsubstantiated and slanderous fiction on this site. I will further advise them that you will soon be tied up in legal action and that any grant/advertising dollars would be better spent elsewhere.

It's very easy to publish sensationalized fiction on your site. Dancing on the grave of a dead man, who cannot speak to defend himself, is an act of cowardice (this is not surprising, since Charles Sudduth's greatest claim to fame amongst those who grew up with him was that he was a draft dodger who spent most of this time in trouble with the law, including, presumably, my grandfather, who was the 'law' of a tiny town located between Hollandale and the largest city in the county, Greenville.)

It is thoughtless and cruel to the generations who followed this great man and dedicated their lives to the very cause you claim to support...equality for all men and women. I'm going to presume, for the moment, that this was a grave and unintentional oversight that, I am certain, you will quickly remedy.

Julie Cuniglio.

"Basically he has a bad knee and wants medicaled out from being the General's goffer. This is no front line soldier from the looks of it."

Almost of all of these "anti-war vets" are always on some kind of disability or the other.

Their disabilities don't ever seem to keep them from constantly jet-setting around the country, marching in protests and giving speeches.

And, yeah, when you scratch the surface, if they were ever in Iraq (or Vietnam) they were usually on bedpan patrol or something just as traumatic.

"In my experience helping run an early internet based new gathering service, mainline media outlets will take photos and film from from anyone willing to provide it for free."

From Stormfront? From David Duke?

I don't think so.

So tell me why not them and why Code Pink.

If you search the sources AP has used, they are all established companies or governmental entities. And they have special access to the photos that AP might not have, like the National Zoo and NASA.

Code Pink isn't NASA. Code Pink isn't Boeing. Code Pink is in the business of anti-American propaganda.

Heck, I bet you couldn't even get AP to use a photo from "Move America Forward," or any quasi "patriotic, pro war" entity.

To pretend this is merely business as usual is BS.

[kcvl]

His IT problem doesn't sound as if it's a reason for him to get disability, IMO.

Iliotibial band syndrome is due to inflammation of this band.

It band friction syndrome is often predisposed by overuse, training errors or faulty biomechanics. It is more common in runners than other athletes.

Treating IT band friction syndrome includes: R.I.C.E.. Rest, ice, compression and elevation as needed.

If you have an IT band friction injury, you will need to rest in order for the inflammation to decrease. This rest, along with a low-impact cross-training activity can lead to a faster recovery.

“I signed up to be a civilian soldier. I signed up to help my community, and because I was and I am still a patriot,” Millard said. “But my First Ammendemt (sic) rights aren’t being trampled by Al Qaeda. Saddam Hussein never tapped my phone. Right now, the enemies of the constitution are domestic. As Malcolm X said, it’s time to stop sitting and start standing.”

Nice, pat anti-war statement. Is there any PROOF that Geoffrey Millard actually SERVED in Iraq?

[SuziQ]

We bombed schools with children inside. Yes, that’s right. You think we only bombed schools at night? We bombed hospitals with patients in them. I knew this war was illegal.

I'd still like to see some INDEPENDENT confirmation that he was actually in Iraq, not just a press release by Code Pink that says he was.
