"Signs are accumulating that some corners of the MSM are getting a clue. It took six months for the major news networks to show video from the million strong tea party rally on 9/12. Now there are consistent polls showing record numbers of Democrats and Independents getting their news from conservative cable, radio and websites while the MSM hemorrhages its audiences.
CNN just the other day ran a story: "Disgruntled Democrats join the Tea Party". And this just in from CNN, an African-American producer who went on a tour with the Tea Party to report on what actually happens at the rallies. Here are some of his remarks.
"But here's what you don't often see in the coverage of Tea Party rallies: Patriotic signs professing a love for country; mothers and fathers with their children; African-Americans proudly participating; and senior citizens bopping to a hip-hop rapper.[snip]Being at a Tea Party rally is not quite like seeing it on TV, in newspapers or online. That's the reason CNN is covering this political movement -- and doing so in ways few others can or choose to do.[snip]
...stereotypes can loom large when they're magnified through a television lens, on the radio, the pages of a newspaper or in the vastness of the Internet.""
