A partial story gains momentum.

Another story about the mother protesting at President Bush's ranch and no mention of the earlier interview she had with him where she praises him. Here they even mention the first meeting, but no mention of what she first said about it.

It seems Drudge is the only one quoting her. If you missed it in my previous post, here is one of her quotes from her first meeting with President Bush.

"I now know he's sincere about wanting freedom for the Iraqis," Cindy said after their meeting. "I know he's sorry and feels some pain for our loss. And I know he's a man of faith."

Now, one can say she changed her mind if they wish, but to just ignore that part of the story and not report both sides is why news organizations like Fox News are so popular. One also has to wonder why she is getting so much attention. This double standard of the MSM is demonstrated here in Brent Bozell's recent article:

"On Monday morning, the Sheehan publicity continued, but still no one reported how radical she is. CNN’s graphic throughout their story on "American Morning" read "Peace Mom." In a "Good Morning America" devoted almost entirely to mourning the death of Peter Jennings, ABC made room for the "angry and determined mother" on her "peace vigil." NBC’s "Today" began their show by promoting "a mother’s vigil" in the first seconds of the program.
Can you imagine the networks ruining the Clinton vacation on Martha’s Vineyard by making a big story out of a conservative protester there? I can’t, because they didn’t. In 1998, a few weeks after Clinton admitted sex with Monica Lewinsky, he went to his first partisan pep rally in Worcester, Massachusetts. ABC and CBS did full stories, and the streets outside the hall were filled with protesters demanding Clinton resign, but ABC and CBS failed to interview them. Only Fox News brought up how a local Democratic city council member, Konstantina Lukes, refused to attend."

We don't want "censored" news that doesn't give us the whole picture. Give us the whole picture and let us decide for ourselves.

Update: This story filed only an hour and 1/2 ago STILL fails to mention Mrs. Sheehan's first meeting with President Bush.

She has also backed out of agreeing to be on The Bill O'Reilly show this evening. He says she claims that he has lied about her. O"Reilly pointed out yesterday that Sheehan had blogged on Michael Moore's site. Is that not true? Or is she afraid of someone actually asking her about her positive comments regarding the first meeting with Bush?

I think it is time for Protest Warriors to get out to Crawford and get some publicity as well. I e-mailed them about that today and haven't heard back.
