Well, the coverage of the TEA parties didn't go as I expected. For one thing the "anti-protest" didn't seem to spring up at all, despite threats from ACORN. However, in the absense of an "anti-protest" fringe group... the media filled in nicely.
This is the most diespicable excuse for journalism that I think I have ever seen.
In all the attendance at the HUNDREDS of TEA parties was excellent. The one in PHX brought in over 5000, and on a very windy evening. Across the country, first reports are saying close to 250K people.
BTW: If you were so inclined you can lodge a complaint to CNN here.
******UPDATE: PJTV.com now puts the official count at over 500K!!!! SWEET!!!

That is just shocking! The whole point of the tea parties was NOT a Democrat or Republican, anti government, Right vs. Left, Taxes vs. No taxes. It's much much bigger than that. These were to show the government and those that lead that we have just gone way too far. That being too far from our founding principals, too far from a less is more approach, too far in spending beyond our means, and frankly too far from representing the people. It's outrageous that CNN or any other 'media' source simply cannot seem to grasp that concept. When will our country get past this party system and get back to foundations of what our country was meant to be by so many?
President Washington would be so proud, Jennifer.

The funny thing is going through a lot of pictures of signs, a LOT of them were Democrats that were not happy with spending 90% more than we take in.
Shocking... I know.
