The Associated Press reviewed tea party operations in almost every state

The MSM is so arrogantly sure of their ability to control the populous. They along with the leaders of the GOP still don't get the whole Tea Party thing.

The MSM is so arrogantly sure of their ability to control the populous.

The MSM not only thinks they speak to the public or for the public, they think they are the public.
Whatever they believe is so self-evident (to them) that everybody just have to agree.
Anybody who doesn't agree must be "fringe" or "uninformed".
That's their attitude.
They also live by the old adage; Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.
(Maybe in this dawn of the information age we can poke a hole in that.)
