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.
