but now there is blatant, unconstitutional censorship occurring in Arizona of media attempts to silence Conservative voices, activities, rallies, press releases and press conferences of Arizona Tea Parties!”

If the Government is not doing the censoring, there is nothing unconstitutional going on.

OK Arizona Freepers, you’re now the eyes and ears for the rest of us to know what’s going on down there...one viral email - faithfully forwarded - will reach more peeps than the so-called “mainstream media” anyway...show them we don’t need them, and let their sponsors know too...they ain’t $hi+ without their sponsors.

This is not the America I grew up in. It has become a fasciast, propagandized and partisan nation.

Some dizzy broad from Scottsdale is sending a letter to the editor to all of the papers advising “brown people” to report any and all traffic stops to the bigoted Eric Holder and the DOJ. She also advised the “brown people” to wash their cars and fix anything that needs to be repaired. I would advise all “white people” who are stopped by minority cops to do the same thing. Since many minority cops joined in lawsuits against Arizona, I suspect that they could take their anger out on “white people” with a little “reverse racial profiling”. I doubt the DOJ will do anything about it but at least they’ll have a few good laughs.

Although media representatives showed up from local TV stations, radio stations and newspapers—NONE of them ran the story,” Stevenson wrote in an SOS to patriots.

The most powerful weapon of the leftist MSM is often deciding to not cover something. They've been doing this for years. And they've always been happy to help Juan McCain, as long as he wasn't so uppity as to think they'd give him a fair shake when running for president against a leftist Dim.

But they are glad to help the backstabber McCain against an actual conservative. McCain has been a valuable tool for the left over the years.

Something a little odd about this. They turned up, but NONE reported it? To announce an endorsement? Having worked on both sides of this fence for years, there is an element of this story missing. Endorsements may or may not be worth a story. But editors do not, as a rule, send people out to be present at events they are not going to cover. They are not inclined to waste manpower like that. I would like to see the agenda that the Tea Party people put together for the event, who spoke, and what was said.

My advice to the Tea Parties in AZ... Openly denounce the TV and Radio stations that choose to ignore the story. Call them out on it. Ask the News Directors why this is “not newsworthy”...and why the anti enforcement groups are getting the coverage! Is this discrimination? Is the pro-illegal story more compelling? Why?

My guess..somebody (SEIU...etc) is greasing the palms of the News Directors to minimalize the Tea Party... unless of course 15 Tea Party folks show up to protest - as opposed to the Union’s 100’s or 1000’s of bussed in protestors.

The left want the illegals to use for votes in November, they want to minimalize the Tea Party. How about getting your chapters to meet out in front of the number one Television station there and call a press conference about the blackout? Get your video cameras out and tape their responses. YouTube is a very powerful tool these days, along with Facebook!

According to Gallup, only 25% of Americans have confidence in newspapers, only 22% have confidence in TV news.

Were they smart ebnough to tape the even themsevles or did they expect the media yo be honest and fair? If they did tape it, they should release it on Youtube and other video pplatforms and send to fox et al. If not, they are terminally retarded.

The Tea Party needs to organize a comprehensive, nationwide boycott of the LSM and their advertisers. This is war. Act like it.

(blatant, unconstitutional censorship)

Ahem. The MSM is perfectly free to decide what they will or will not print.

Just as I am perfectly free to ignore them completely, not watching their teeheevee broadcasts, and preserving trees and avoiding nasty nasty environmentally-destructive paper-processing chemicals by not buying their printed product. If it puts a few journOlists into the breadlines, it's in a good cause.

But the instant you can mandate what the press MUST print... watch out.

Local media in Arizona is probably dominated by leftist like most media everywhere. Taking their cue from the socialist they are doubtlessly now pushing s sympathy trip for those that break the law and of course the endless race war fear and hate mongering that is the corner stone of the modern Democratic party.
