A sense of proportion?

I googled Cindy Sheehan just a minute ago and got back 8200 news stories. Seeing as how Ms. Sheehan's views are vastly outweighed by other parents of fallen soldiers who hold opposite views, why aren't the vast majority of those parents who are pro-Bush, pro-Iraqi policy given at least as much press time?

Cindy Sheehan's situation is nothing more than a feeble attempt by the MSM to relive the "glory days" of Viet Nam, Nixon, you name it. Yeah.. glory days. If the MSM really wants to re-live the glory days of journalism, how about going back to the ilk of Edwin R. Murrow or Walter Winchill; back in the days when the MSM actually had some cred. If the MSM really wants to re-live the glory days, why not go back to the reporting style of WWII, when the positive happenings were sure to get as much press as the negative?

Do we and the MSM actually live in the same nation anymore?

This lack of proportion can only be construed as hard, continuing evidence of something that the MSM continues to deny--the existence of an agenda.
