Consider the Source: Homelessness


Maybe you saw this story, or this photograph. It's Michelle Obama, serving lunch at a homeless shelter. But wait a minute - what's that? A cellphone? A homeless man with a cellphone?

Now, here's an article about the photo, and what people had to say about it. Now, where is this article from? Some place called Change.org. Who are they? Go and find out. That list of causes over on the right ought to tell you something.

Now you'll need to click on the article to get this. First of all, they give you a link from the LosAngeles Times -- the main stream media. And then they go to Michelle Malkin -- a very conservative blogger, in the Ann Coulter mode, and a frequent visitor to Bill O'Reilly's show. Both are a little snarky.

They say a photo is worth a thousand words: whose thousand, I wonder?
