The NYT could interview 30,000 TEA Partiers and still know nothing about them. They cannot imagine people like me and others who are involved in wanting a smaller government, less taxes and believe in the Constitution.
True, they could. But they won't. It is beneath their pay scale, and besides, they would have to get off of their pedestal and meet real people.
A WSJ reporter rode our bus to DC last September to interview us. He wrote a nice long article for the paper but he didn’t get it, even then, and chose to spotlight and quote the HS grads, which was fine but we had doctors, a lawyer, teachers, small business owners, etc that he skipped over.
It was clear he had an agenda.
