What? The media loves G8 protesters. They do not portray them as crazed or kooky.
The Tea Party movement is moving forward just fine. And it’s not a problem that its protests look like, duh, protests, not assemblies of automatons lined up to listen to speakers give voice to their message.
This whole discussion is a little surreal to me. It’s as if the New England Patriots implemented a rule, “don’t go out and bang helmets, jump up and down, holler at each other before the game like other football teams do; the media will portray you as crazies and kooks and NOT TAKE YOU SERIOUSLY AS A FOOTBALL TEAM.”
My point is: if you’re demonstrably being taken seriously already, it’s pretty dumb of Beck to come along behind and say things need to change so you’ll be taken seriously.
I just read the transcript from his Sept 16th radio show about this topic. I am in agreement with his stance.

He may go in circles trying to express what he means but he has very valid points and opinions. IMHO
As to the media loving the G8, they do show them and love them but they do portray them as kooky and lovable, something not to be discussed except their cute costumes and those mean police. You wear a silly costume you will get media coverage, lots of hits on you tube and more people will friend you on facebook, but how many gawkers will see and understand the true meaning in wearing that outfit.
