The Main Stream Media Imbalance

Forget about the fact that Cindy Sheehan has been an avowed left-wing-radical for a long time...longer than she has been in the eye of the media...

Forget about the fact that Cindy Sheehan and her family met with the President after their son was killed in Iraq...

Forget about the fact that Cindy Sheehan had words of praise for President Bush after that meeting, calling him a "spiritual man"....

But the one thing you CANNOT forget about is this:

There are many, many, many other families that have lost a son or daughter in the war, and because they SUPPORT the President...because they SUPPORT this country's efforts in Iraq to eradicate terrorism at it's root...because they AREN'T anti-war; anti-America; anti-everything-that-stands-for-what-this-President-is-doing-to-make-this-country-safe...the MSM has chosen to ignore them...

Those families that are supporting this President remain invisible to the MSM...and ultimately invisible to most of this country's citizens...because they don't carry the anti-America message that the MSM is looking for...

Yesterday, the President paid a glowing tribute to family members of soldiers serving in Iraq, telling hundreds of Idaho National Guardsmen that America owes them a debt of gratitude...

And President Bush did something else...he introduced the world to Tammy Pruett.

Who is Tammy Pruett? you ask...

I'll tell you:

Tammy Pruett is a military mom...Tammy Pruett is from Pocatello, Idaho...Tammy Pruett now has four sons in Iraq and whose husband and another son returned from war last year....

The President relayed this about Tammy Pruett: "Tammy says this -- and I want you to hear this -- 'I know that if something happens to one of the boys, they would leave this world doing what they believe, what they think is right for our country,' " Mr. Bush said.

I did a google search on Tammy Pruett and got seven results...SEVEN!!!!!!!!!

Do a search on Cindy Sheehan and there are 14,400 hits...and that's just the news portion...do a regular google search on Sheehan and there are over 5 million hits...

But...then...Tammy Pruett won't be of interest to the MSM...because she just comes down on the "wrong side" of the issues...like patriotism...
