Looks like CNN is trying to play catch up in a half handed way now. Yet they still give a number of 600,000 and say it was big.

reliable sources, isn’t so reliable.
Firstly, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck would never describe themselves as journalists, so why is this panel discussing it in that framework. They are 100% editorialists, period.
They never present themselves otherwise.
Secondly, that so called reporter, and she is presented as such by her boss and herself, pretends that she is seeking the truth, as a journalis, when that is obviously not a fact.
Thirdly, I think it is important that all tea parties in the future shy away from having any “name” speakers. We need to cleanly keep the movement out of the hands of any who might side track it out of our hands.
