The MSM reporting of this is outrageous.

CNN reminds its readers today that dissent is ~~patriotic~~ barely tolerable in the Age of Obama. In a report after the Tax Day Tea Parties grabbed so much attention, the news network — which also relies on the First Amendment — spends quite a bit of column space fretting over voter anger expressed at … well, peaceful public assemblies:
Letting disgruntled citizens vent is important to national security, experts say, but some messages emanating from angry Americans in recent weeks have pressed the boundaries of free speech. …
But the angry rhetoric is not isolated to fringe groups. Both mainstream liberal and conservative camps have joined the chorus, and while some of the language sounds threatening, most of it is protected.
As the Tea Party held its April 15 tax day protest against government spending, related groups were planning an April 19 protest at Fort Hunt National Park near Alexandria, Virginia. The purpose of the latter, the groups say, is to “restore the Constitution,” and the location was chosen because it is the nearest point to Washington where firearms can be carried openly.
What makes this article so laughable is how little of it has anything to do with the demonstrations themselves. There isn’t a single quote from any of the rallies in it. Instead, CNN talks about the fringe lunacy that occurs in activism on both the Left and the Right in order to paint the Tea Parties themselves as some sort of explosion of militia fervor, when anyone who attended these rallies know that’s not at all the case.

I am a little surprised that CNN is ahead of MSNBC is the race toward no ratings. It is amazing, that an iconic network, "This is CNN", has so damaged itself, that it's below the lunatic ravings of an Olberman, Maddow and Schultzie.

Every attempt at a turnaround has been built on their delusions that have caused CNN's decline in the first place.

They say that they're going to be the 'hard news' network and then pile on the same old liberal cr*p. CNN ought to be a business school case study is what not to do.

Liberals love to equivocate everything. It's a bedrock principle for them.
