With due respect, the MSM is going to continue to spin to their liking and make the so-called down-trodden feel dis-enfranchised. That's what they do and will do until they eventually die (which is happening).
As I watched TEA Party coverage on Fox, the only person who had a real clue about the under-lying purpose was Glen Beck. It's unfortunate that such a wise man comes off as a silly clown on his show. He is doing our cause a small dis-service with his antics. But better him than nothing. At least he knows and promotes the Founding Fathers' principles.
Oh I totally agree. It's also my opinion we should be countering them, the best we can, via letters to the editor (if enough of us send them in they can't completely ignore them), calling talk radio, especially to hosts whose views differ from ours, and most importantly explaining our position to neighbors, friends and others every chance we get. In other words, spread the word.
That's what I try to do at The (rat infested) Local Watering Hole, and with my wife and her co-workers when I take them to work in the morning.
A neighbor was jogging by as I came home the other morning. She's HUGE Obama supporter and stopped to "congratulate" me on the April 11th Tea Party. She had read in the local paper that there were only a "few hundred" at the rally.
I just happened to have some pics and a video with me and proved to here that no matter what the media claimed, there were AT LEAST 5 to 7 thousand at the rally.
That made an impact, LOL!

Reagan had a worse problem than we do with the press. He also had a smarmy little drunk named Mike Deaver who understood the media and how to counter them. Do you remember ever seeing a bad picture of Reagan? It's not just that he was photogenic but Deaver always put him in backgrounds that benefited him. The little guy was pure genius.
Whoever put together the video linked to in post 12 has the touch. That is powerful.
