USA Today continues to fail in their attack on Cindy Sheehan

Monday, USA Today attempted to smear Cindy Sheehan.  We noted it at the end of yesterday's snapshot.


A USA Today friend e-mailed it was not an attack.  Really?



Instead of focusing on issues where an increasing number of Americans agree with her, she's disappeared into fringe politics. First she ran on a socialist party's ticket for vice president as actress Roseanne Barr's running mate. Now she's running for governor of California. Want to know more about how that's going? Take a look at the video answer above from Forum Editor David Mastio.


That's a Valentine?

In a back and forth e-mail exchange, the journalist insisted I was taking things out of context (I don't understand how the above in bold -- which USA Today wrote -- can be taken out of context) and that if I had only watched the video I would have seen that.

I did not watch the video yesterday.  I didn't just freely admit that in the snapshot, I rejoiced in it.

USA Today -- so inept or in such a rush to attack Cindy -- couldn't even post the video correctly yesterday  -- as I pointed out in the snapshot.

"For your information" began the last e-mail exchange (thus far) on this topic, the video is now up and working.

Poor USA Today.  They really don't have a lot of journalistic prizes to point to because they are the McDonalds of newspapers.  And they can't even get it together to successfully launch an attack.

I went to the site and here's what you get currently.

Poor USA Today.  They may want to take this as a sign that the universe is telling them to walk away and stop trying to attack Cindy Sheehan.
