Hundreds of thousands of Americans are gearing up to participate in Tax Day Tea Parties around the country and there are signs that, finally, the mainstream media just may give these protests against big government and high taxes some fair coverage. Ironically it is the opponents of the movement who may be responsible for the change.

Doubtful, but I am cynical. More likely, the DNC's propoganda arm has figured out a way to report on us and still make us look bad without losing plausible deniability, not that have any, but they think they still do. I hear the media look away from mirrors more so than they did a few years back, too. . . . .

And to paraphrase Tea Party favorite Sarah Palin's response to a heckler at a recent political rally: "Stick around, folks. You might learn something."

Gotta love Sarah!

The MSM is looking for a smear, that will be the ONLY reason they cover the tea parties. Hopefully in the course of looking for a smear and not finding one, the tea parties will give some significant coverage.

I believe CNN’s latest ratings nosedive began with their snotty little reporter’s on-air attack of Tea Partiers. As the Tea Party movement has grown, CNN viewership has declined.

The more the MSM tries to make the Tea Party Movement look "racist, homophobic and moronic", the more galvanized and larger the movement becomes. Oh yeah, it also leads to the polarization of America.

MSM -- Bring it on!

The reporters will be there to count all those alleged racial slurs.

Which are already planned by infiltrating leftists.

“Ironically it is the opponents of the movement who may be responsible for the change.”

Exactly. The msm will be looking for the “infiltrators” to interview while passing them off as regular Tea Party members. It will be a total set-up to disparage the Tea Party movement.

I wonder if the irony of their tactics ever actually dawns on these morons. There’s no story, so they make one up. There’s no hate, so they throw it around themselves. There’s no violence, so they start some. Talk about your projection; they’re really getting therapy for their own dark urges at our expense. Nauseating.

[ozzymandus]

The MSM will be looking for leftist agitators to smear the Tea Party. The Tea Party should have security to arrest and remove these plants.

If you’re going to a T.E.A. Party, be sure to carry a couple of signs that say:

NOT WITH US ==>>

and

<<== NOT WITH US

or something similar.
