Jeffrey Lena admires the MSM’s reportial double-standards.
On March 2nd there was a demonstration in Washington D.C. It was billed as the largest demonstration for green power/global warming awareness/stop dirty coal/ let’s all go live in a tepee, ever held. It was attended by, (are you ready for the number?), 2,500 people. That was the largest one ever! This demonstration was covered by every major television and news service. No station or alleged newspaper gave any coverage to opposing opinions. Ironically there was a blizzard that day another fact which, to the best of my knowledge, was not noted by any major news outlet.
Thirteen days later one of the first of the grassroots “Tea Parties†was held in Cincinnati Ohio. Over five thousand average middle-class folks showed up on Fountain Square in the center of the city. Their message was simple, we can’t afford our government! Did you see it on CNN? Maybe you caught it on ABC or MSNBC? If you did you need to check the strength of your prescriptions, it wasn’t on any of them. …
In thousands of cities and towns across America, hundreds of thousands of plain folks came out into the streets to say. “Enough!†This was not a protest against any party or person in particular but against a paradigm in governments from Washington D.C. to the local city halls that assume there is no end to the amount of money we are willing to kick in.
You wouldn’t know that from the coverage. Everyone from CNN to MSNBC to my local paper went out of their way to make it seem like anyone who attended one of these gatherings was a right-wing extremist! Right-wing extremist, hummm where have I heard that term lately? Wasn’t there some sort of government document leaked to the public the day before all these Tea Parties? I am not a believer in coincidence, especially in politics. I believe that the Department of Homeland Security report was released in an effort to intimidate some citizen and keep them from attending the anti-tax rallies.
These demonstrations were too many and too big to be ignored so the leftists in the media moved to their second tactic, belittle and mock.

Truth!
ACORN gathers 26 professional, racist racketeers and buses them to AIG exec’s neighborhoods and it’s big NEWS!
A half million real, productive people assemble to air their grievances and the media ignores.
If they aren’t omitting stiff, they’re distorting, exaggerating or outright lying about stuff that contradicts their leftist loser (works swell in Zimbabwe and Cuba) agenda.
They’re aiding and abetting Obama running the economy off a cliff and destroying the Constitution.
All is not lost. The Yanks just went UP 7-3!
