Nothing says "media bias" like coffee in the morning.
If anyone ever wanted to see an example of the bias of the Old Media no better example can be found than the different ways that it has treated the tea party movement and the coffee party astroturf effort. The tea party movement was initially ignored, then it was ridiculed, then it was attacked as dangerous, but no where in the Old Media was it treated as a valid, powerful political movement despite the literally millions of Americans that have attended them.
On the other hand, the astroturf coffee party effort created by an Obama campaign staffer was treated as a viable, important effort from the second it was announced and all that quite despite the fact that no coffee party event seems to have been able to turn out more than 20 people at a time.
Let's look at some numbers. Just from those first tax day tea party events (April 15, 2009) the number of participants topped *500,000. And since then there have been thousands of more tea party protests of all sorts sponsored by any number of local and national groups and they, too, have turned out thousands of participants. There have been tea party participants in the millions since April of 2009...

They should not be even be referred to as “media” or “the press”.
Clearly, and with evidence over and over, they prove themselves to be propagandists.
Expectations of fairness fall under the “insane rule”.
COFFEE PARTY
When the local coffee party advocates insisted they were non-partisan I knew they were a bunch of George Soros-financed liars.
What if they threw a Kos Koffee Klatch and nobody showed up but media and infiltrators, lol?
I really didn’t stay long enough to figure that out. They met in a coffee shop, and I quickly went to buy a book next door.
They sure didn’t look very excited or lively for that matter.
