This Is “Energized”?
Near the end of this Washington Post AP-fed writeup (”Sheehan Supports U.S. Deserters in Canada”) of Cindy Sheehan’s appearance with soldiers who deserted to Canada, there’s this rewrite of history:
Sheehan, who energized the anti-war movement last summer with her monthlong protest outside President Bush’s Texas ranch, said she has spent time with many of the resisters.
Soooooo energized that she needs to be in Canada now to get attention. But how much attention?
The soldiers thanked Canadians for their hospitality and were cheered by about 100 in an audience that included Iraq veterans opposed to the war and Vietnam-era resisters who sought refuge in Canada decades earlier.
“About 100″?
The AP wasted almost 500 words and a few hours of a reporter’s time on ….. “about 100″ people? And the Washington Post carried it?
(IMO, “About 100″ is a nice way of saying “it was less than 100 but we’re going to round it up to make it look bigger.”)
In analogous business news, Procter & Gamble shares closed at “about $100” on Friday. So did Apple Computer.
Cindy Sheehan has been a media-driven creation who never caught on with ANYONE outside of the moonbat fringe and its media enablers. So I’ll stop spending time on her, right now.
That means I won’t take comments, except for trackbacks, at this post.
What A Disgrace!
