IMO, there's a big difference between interviewing someone like Cavuto did, vs. being onstage, the center of gravity, looking very much part of the inner workings of the event.
I am glad FOX pulled him (if they did). The Tea Party is a demonstration. It is amorphous and spontaneous. As soon as it gets associated with corporations, networks or political parties or specific PACs, that very baggage will redefine it and compromise its populist ethos.
Hannity has a lot of fun doing what he does onstage, and the people overall seem to enjoy it; but it is still out of place.
All of these tea parties are run locally.
If Fox says no because this particular tea party was charging an entrance fee, then that is their perogative also. Maybe Hannity did not know they were charging? Maybe he cked at the last minute and was told no? Who knows.
you got it
