Media Bias?

Wow, the Toronto Star proves that it's just as biased as any of the big MSM outlets in the states. Lets look at it's recent story on Cindy Sheehan:

Military families who might be questioning the country's role in
Afghanistan should camp out at Sussex Dr., U.S. "peace mom" Cindy Sheehan said
last night.

Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq two years ago and who is now the
most visible face in the U.S. anti-war movement, said Canada's presence in
Afghanistan frees U.S. troops to fight in Iraq, a war she said the average
Canadian and some families of Canadian soldiers oppose.

"They should take their tents and put them on the Prime Minister's lawn
and say, `I want to know why you're making our soldiers fight and die, and kill
innocent people in Afghanistan, and I'm not moving until you let me know,'" she
said.

Sheehan, 48, made the remarks shortly before addressing 300 people at
an anti-war event at the University of Toronto's Convocation Hall, organized by
the student union and the Toronto Coalition to Stop the War.

"My heart goes out to all the (Canadian) families who have had loved
ones killed in Afghanistan," she said.

Until recently, Canada has been "a peace beacon" for the United States,
she said, with a long history of giving asylum to American slaves and
soldiers.

Sheehan's son Casey, 24, was killed in the Baghdad slum of Sadr City on
April 4, 2004, when his unit was attacked with rocket-propelled grenades and
small-arms fire. He had arrived in Iraq only five days earlier...

What they failed to include in the report at this point is that Casey was on his second tour of duty and that he volunteered of his own free will to go on the mission that killed him.

Here's a quote (naughty words edited) from the vivacious RightGirl:

Mother Sheehan: The dumb c*nt has come north of the 49th parallel. Hasn't she
been arrested a few too many times to get permission to cross the border? Oh
well, we have no border security anyway, and half the border guards want to see
an end to the war because they're Middle Eastern, so it stands to reason they
would have let the dingbat in. She's going to grace the cities of Ottawa,
Toronto and Vancouver with her very own brand of shmaltz, and the peacniks are
going to lap it up. They'll probably proclaim an official Cindy Day in Toronto
for her. Oh, how I would sincerely love to cross paths with her...

I'm afraid that we're in a minority with our opinions RG...
