Liberal Media Bias: CNN.com Calls Phoenix Thugfest "Largely Peaceful"
Vocal Minority ^ | 4/26/10 | EricTheRed

Yes, folks. Let the media spinning begin ...

In its Politics section, CNN.com laughably starts:

Hundreds of people gathered outside Arizona's Capitol building on Sunday in a largely peaceful protest against the state's tough new immigration law.

To which the folks at WSJ's Best of the Web responds:

"Largely peaceful" implies that there was some violence, although the CNN report does not reveal its nature or extent. In any case, it's quite a contrast with reports of completely peaceful tea-party protests that emphasize imagined threats of violence.

Which was exactly the point I made in my first post on this topic (where you can find the video of demonstrably unpeaceful thugs attacking police with bottles and other projectiles.

Not only that, but "tough" is quite a subjective way of describing Arizona's new law. And not only did CNN add the unnecessary qualifier "tough," they conveniently forgot the essential qualifier "illegal."

Does anyone think any of Obama's or the Dem Congress' draconian liberty-violating and wealth-stealing policies have been described as "tough" by CNN? Probably not. They've been too busy painting the largely peaceful

Largely Peaceful. Postively Orwellian. Boycott Time-Warner. Time-Lies.

Mayhem, violence, vandalism and a mess afterward is “largely peaceful”.

A TEA Party event where people are orderly, courteous, don't require police intervention and actually police their own trash following the event are fringe events fomenting rage, hostility and attack.

And my grass is pink, the sky is purple and MSNBC is a bastion of logic, contemporary knowledge, and wisdom.

I hope somebody is comparing video of tea parties and rioting illegals and overlapping them with MSM descriptions.

By largely peaceful, I take it that some of it wasn’t peaceful.
