I watched a LOT of the coverage of the DC tea party yesterday, but curiously I did not see any of the signs that CNN has linked to the story.
One of them is a Swastika, and another has "Start your Militia Training today".
No. Absolutely no bias there/s

I too watched quite a bit of coverage yesterday and was LOOKING for signs like these, but didn’t see a one. CNN must have really had to look HARD to find these.
Out of the THOUSANDS of signs carried yesterday, of course they’d only publish these two.
CNN disgusts me.

What I see is one sign suggesting that Obozo is a nazi and the other picture is of American patriots.
Rev Manning is right....HA!
Beware of the white Revolution...ha.
Just to clear up....I don’t DISAGREE with the signs they printed, I just think they looked for what they thought were the most inflammatory to print.

Hardly ANYBODY but the rabid left watch CNN anymore anyway.
The truth is out there and there is nothing that CNN or MSNBC or any OTHER democRAT shill news agency can do to try to spin it otherwise.
Of the hundreds of thousands of people in attendance, surely there'd be a few disruptors with outrageous signs hoping to get airtime and tarnish the event.
I feel the same way.
I don’t see these two photos as “tarnishing” the event. Obama is a fascist and calling him out on that is not “shocking” (to CNN maybe). The other one shows two supporters of the 2nd Amendment. I’m terrified.
I think people do watch CNN. Its in every airport. I have requested Fox News but was told that CNN contributed the monitors that they had to be turned to CNN.
These are government facilities folks. Should it be legal for CNN to have a monopoly in government facilities (whether Federal or State)?
CNN/MSNBC/ABC/NBC/CBS/NPB are just the Pravda of the Nuevo USSR.
I don’t watch any of them and I try to tune out CNN while traveling.
I saw one “swastika” sign where the bars were made up of words. The CNN live-feed camera picked it out of a sea of hundreds and zoomed in, but when you could start to make out the words, the camera very quickly panned away. I’m not sure what it said, but the power of the words apparently beat out the politics of the swastika.
They don’t tarnish it for me either, but there is no doubt that Jimm Spellman, along with CNN, went out of their way to attempt to do so with these photos.
Why not simply have one of the thousands of pics regarding GOVT SPENDING?
ROFL!
They are trying very hard to paint a “right wing zealot kook” label on yesterday and are having a hard time doing it since it obviously was hardworking, patriotic Americans that made up the thousands and thousands that marched.

I can only say THANK YOU to CNN, MSNBC and any of the alphabet news networks for their coverage of both the tea parties in April and yesterdays coverage of the march on washington.
Without their biased, derogatory, minimialization of the events, none of the turnout we had yesterday would have been possible.
1.6 MILLION people attended tea party rallies in April. We were bashed, trashed, marginalized and laughed at by all the MSM except FNC. That pissed off ALOT of people who were actually there. That sparked enough outrage to cause a firm resolve to follow through to this rally. While the media may have been able to control the airwaves, the people driving by these protests nationwide, plus the ones who attended them and saw the bias in the coverage had the scales fall from their eyes that day. They saw the media for what it actually was.
Now these lowball accounts, with pictures that show ten times that number, are awakening even more folks. It is also outraging more folks. The movement will continue its explosive growth. These are folks of firm resolve, who love their country not their party. Many are not used to being in the marginalized group, and don’t like it one bit. There is no where to hide, and the MSM is looking more and more like bagdad bob with the tanks rolling in behind him as he assured Iraq there was no truth to the rumor that Bagdad was being liberated.
So, from one teabagging, bitter bible clinging, troop supporting,constitution loving, rightwing extremist, THANKS FOR YOUR HELP CNN, MSNBC, AND ALPHABET MEDIA, we could not have gotten the scales off the eyes of the silent, sleeping giant with more speed or precision if we had planned it ourselves!
I would like to see a blow up of the NAZI picture - let's research it and find out if it's a liberal fake. I doubt it's real.
They used that very briefly on Meet the Depressed. We gotta find that picture and see what the words mean!
