Even Bernie Goldberg now believes they are corrupt. This is not what he believed when he wrote the book Bias. At that time he thought they were just an echo chamber, surrounded by like-minded people to the point they couldn’t be objective.

The issue that binds the Tea Party folks together is fear of big government.

"Fear of" for some, "staunch resistence to" for others.

Corrupt usually means to forgo your principles for financial gain. Our media does just the opposite. They are willing to teeter on the edge of insolvency in order to push their leftist agenda.

“After we get done with the lawyers, we are coming for the reporters.”

Find out where the corrupt media live - not work, live. Easy to do, and do it for the entire organization, from the board and major stockholders to the mail clerks.

Stage peaceful, legal protests out in front of their homes, one after the other and repeatedly. Document everything on video in case they try the usual false charges.

Those who are biased slant the story to fit with their personal agenda. For the main stream media this bias would be to the left.

Those who are fair and balanced will attempt to present a report on a story based n the evidence and the facts.

Those who are corrupt will tend to show bias and also report stories based on here-say. They will not verify the facts or evidence but simply accept the information because it helps to promote their ideology.

We are seeing more and more corruption in reporting. Just look at the lies about Tea Party patriots. All of which have been proven to be lies with video evidence.

He is talking about the First Amendment, which is: Freedom of religion, of speech, of the press, to assemble, and to petition

Today, we have a problem in America. Entire news operations are devoting themselves not to reporting events honestly, but to promoting a certain ideology or party.

This is what is known as propaganda. If it weren't also corrupt, the US government should refuse to guarantee student loans to journalism majors until they change it to propaganda major. At least it'd be accurate.

Yes. But the main point he was making was that the Tea Partiers were mainstream Americans with plenty of support amongst American voters, instead of the “far right, racist, haters and psychos” that the mainstream media has been fighting really hard to portray them as. So the Rasmussen poll would have served to further strengthen his argument.
