—The “Tea Party” is a takeoff on the Boston Tea Party, so critical for the Americans’ history, in that it signified a breakaway from Britain in favor of individuals rights, smaller government and lower taxes.

Its amazing that this Japanese Press seems to understand a simple concept that baffles the MSM here.

They were not the only network today, oddly enough. Somebody or something must have told them that it was "OK" because suddenly these various Japanese TV streams, and text stories, appeared from out of nowhere about Obama's woes and the ascendancy of the TPM.

What I figure is that they don't want to be caught with their journalistic zubon down next week when the numbers roll in...they have sat on this story and spiked it for so long, how in the living daylights are they going to suddenly, overnight, explain to the Japanese viewership a US House that has gone GOP and maybe even the Senate, plus lots of Governorships? They and their credibility will be called upon the carpet when it emerges the Tea Party and massive Obama Remorse in the USA, has been a story for well over one year now.
