Oh What Difference A Name On The Door Makes

Especially with the All Barack Channel, ABC News.

Hey folks,

It truly is amazing. DO you know if Soldiers are dying in Iraq? What about Afghanistan? Do you know that we are "losing the war?" "The War is lost?" Do you know that the President just said people are getting "Wee-Weed up?" They are wetting themselves over Obamacare? Do you know that the majority of his Administration are criminals, tax cheats, and liars? Do you even KNOW if Obama has an American Birth Certificate? No. Why? The Mass Media Drones, the MMD, the State run media, will not report any of it. Oh what difference a name on the door of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue makes.

No example is more clear than over at the All Barack Channel, AKA, ABC News. And no example could even be clearer than the War and Cindy Sheehan. Turns out that she sees no difference in Obama and Bush when it comes to the War. She is on her way to Martha's Vineyard to protest the President.

You remember Cindy, do you not? Some in the Media PAID for her to fly around and dog the President, when the President was Bush. They camped out with her. They interviewed her. They praised her. Newsbusters did a great piece by Brent Baker, chronicling ABC Coverage on Cindy Sheehan.

Flashback: When Gibson was Enthralled by Cindy Sheehan

As Noel Sheppard noted earlier today in picking up from the Washington Examiner's Byron York how ABC World News anchor Charles Gibson declared “enough already” when asked on Chicago's WLS Radio (audio) about Cindy Sheehan's plan to travel to President Barack Obama's Martha's Vineyard vacation spot next week to protest the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. York observed how “that's a remarkably different stance from the one Gibson took four years ago” when he was co-host of Good Morning America. Specifically, York recalled:

On August 9, 2005, the ABC anchor conducted an extensive on-air interview with Sheehan. “Cindy Sheehan is her name,” Gibson began. “She says she's not moving until the President meets with her, and I had a chance to speak with her a few minutes ago. Cindy Sheehan, bottom line, what do you hope to accomplish with all this?”

During the next week, Gibson and ABC continued to cover Sheehan. On August 17, 2005, when Sheehan left Crawford, Gibson reported, “We're going to turn next to the standoff that is playing out near President Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas. Cindy Sheehan, you know, the mother who lost a son in Iraq, is now on the move, but she's still standing her ground. ABC's Geoff Morrell is in Crawford with the details…” The next day, Gibson reported, “All across the country last night, people held candlelight vigils in support of Cindy Sheehan…”

Indeed, the Wednesday August 10, 2005 MRC CyberAlert, “Good Morning America Features 'Exclusive' Interview with Sheehan,” recounted:

Over video of Bush-hater Cindy Sheehan yelling at a Sheriff's deputy near Bush's Texas ranch, Charles Gibson opened Tuesday's Good Morning America by touting: "Standing her ground. She lost her son in Iraq, she opposes the war, now she's camped out at President Bush's ranch and says she won't leave until he meets with her. An exclusive interview on Good Morning America."

A week later, “Nets, AP Tout Sheehan's Achievements, See Revived Anti-War Effort,” reported:

Before and after Cindy Sheehan's announcement Thursday that she was leaving Crawford to attend to her ill mother, the networks celebrated her supposed achievements and hoped they'd re-invigorate the anti-war movement....ABC anchor Elizabeth Vargas saw “a campaign born of sadness and resolution.” Thursday morning, ABC's Charlie Gibson championed: “All across the country protests against the war in Iraq, inspired by the mother standing her ground at President Bush's ranch.” On screen, GMA put "MOM ON A MISSION: IS ANTIWAR MOVEMENT GROWING?" George Stephanopoulos claimed “a lot of Republicans would say” that “this is the President's swift boat moment.”...

Gibson plugged the Thursday program: "This morning a war of words. All across the country protests against the war in Iraq, inspired by the mother standing her ground at President Bush's ranch. But is anyone in the White House feeling the heat?"

From the following week, “GMA Features Sheehan Ally, Pleads: 'Can Anti-War Moms Stop Bush?'”

With "CAN ANTI-WAR MOMS STOP BUSH?" on screen throughout the interview session, ABC on Monday morning didn’t let Cindy Sheehan’s departure from Crawford deter them from promoting her cause as they brought aboard Celeste Zappala of Sheehan’s group, Gold Star Families for Peace. Co-host Charles Gibson gave her a lot of credit, asking about President’s Bush upcoming speech in Salt Lake City, from where Zappala appeared: “Do you think, Ms. Zappala, that he would be making these speeches were it not for your group's protest?"

In the midst of giving her publicity, Gibson fretted: “You are but a small group there that is perched on the approach to the President's ranch. One hundred, two hundred people. Do you really think you've got people talking about the war?" Gibson also did something unusual, raising how Sheehan called the U.S. “morally repugnant” and he pressed Zappala about whether she worries that her protests “might dishonor” her son who died in Iraq?


It was all Cindy, all the time. We were even treated to a daily Death Count in Iraq by the MMD. We were constantly told there is no way to win, and Bush needs to get out now. We were contently told "Bush lied, people died." But NOW? Now that Obama is in the SAME office? Now that the War, there is only one war, is still going on? ABC News to Cindy, "Enough already." {Laughing} What they are saying is "You served your purpose, now go away."

One of the biggest supporters of Cindy, Charles Gibson, seems, well, tired of her. This week the MMD learned that Sheehan was going to Protest Obama, they reported? NOTHING!

This week, after the Washington Examiner reported that Sheehan will be protesting on Martha's Vineyard (see here and here), WLS radio host Don Wade, noting all the coverage that Sheehan received in 2005, asked Gibson "whether we're going to see some coverage of Cindy Sheehan…do you suppose Cindy is going to make the news again?"

Gibson's answer was sympathetic but clear: No. "I gather she's going back to Martha's Vineyard," Gibson began.

He said this in a very arrogant way. In other words, "Why are you even asking me about this?" Then he said the following.

"It's such a sad story. Martha Raddatz [of ABC News] wrote a terrific book about one battle that took place in Iraq, and it was the battle in which Cindy's son was killed. And you look at somebody like that and you think here's somebody who's just trying to find some meaning in her son's death. And you have to be sympathetic to her. Anybody who has given a son to this country has made an enormous sacrifice, and you have to be sympathetic. But enough already."

I could spend the next day talking about nothing more than the difference in the Media, and the way they are treating Obama compared to Bush or any Right leaning President, but you already know that. You already know that they are OWNED by the likes of Soros, and that they are nothing more than a branch of the Left Wing Extreme KOOK Fringe. They simply report what they are told to, and ignore that of which they are told to ignore. I say again, oh what difference a name on the door makes.
