The Associated Press is defending itself from allegations by Cindy Sheehan that it misrepresented the anti-war activist's book-signing by showing a virtually empty tent.
As WorldNetDaily reported, Sheehan's Thanksgiving weekend protest near President Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch featured a book-signing that turned out to be a barren affair.
Photographs published by wire services including the Associated Press and Reuters depicted a lonely "Peace Mom" in a virtually empty tent awaiting those seeking her autograph on her new book, "Not One More Mother's Child."
According to Editor & Publisher, Sheehan issued a statement Tuesday accusing "right-wing" sites of "spreading a false story that nobody bought my book at Camp Casey on Saturday. That is not true, I sold all 100 copies and got writer's cramp signing them. Photos were taken of me before the people got in line to have me sign the book. We made $2,000 for the peace house."
