More Media Ranting

How about this:

Cindy Sheehan, the so-called "peace mom" on a crusade to end U.S. involvement in the Iraq war, is publicly blasting Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., for her continued support of the ongoing conflict. "I think she is a political animal who believes she has to be a war hawk to keep up with the big boys," Sheehan writes in an open letter. "I would love to support Hillary for president if she would come out against the travesty in Iraq. But I don't think she can speak out against the occupation, because she supports it."

So, where is the media on this? Where is the news vans and pundits on PMSNBC talking about what a brave woman Sheehan is? Where are all the people who love Cindy when she's ripping Bush and Cheney? No where to be found. Why? Because she's ripping their darling Hillary now.

When Cindy picketed Bush, it was headline news...it was everything. Poor Cindy...using her son's death as a platform for her agenda. The media couldn't get enough of her. But, when she blasts Hillary, what do we hear from the news? Silence. Tell me there isn't a double standard.
