Grandmothers Against the War ... has 20 regulars. How is that spectacular? How is that really newsworthy? Okay, so they make pamphlets, signs, noise .. and so does PETA. "We sound more credible than a bunch of teen protesters", as one of the stated. Really? Are they really more, better infomed? Now, I'm not taking a position on or against the war or our involvement, but rather why would CNN give air to this group? I would not. I chalk it up to luantic fringe, or powerless angry folks who amazingly got media exposure, who -- without slanted media (CNN, FOX, newspapers, etc. all share this trait) would get as much note as a fifty year-old homeless man with grungy clothes.
Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.
