Media Coverage of the Tea Party


Some local news coverage here and here (video on the second link).

It's really cute how the local liberal media downplays the whole thing by using comments like "dozens of people" (from the local CBS affiliate), when all official estimates accounted for at least 600 attendants.  "Dozens" seems like a really inadequate way to describe that number.  WKRN (the ABC affiliate) got the numbers right at least, but just couldn't help themselves and had to throw in comments implying laziness by saying protestors used the "same signs" from a previous protest.  On the other hand, I guess they could just ignore it all like the national liberal media!

Let's just hope the open-minded President and Congress paid a little attention to what Americans were saying yesterday.
