Why have the MSM apparently imposed a news blackout on the tea party protests? I have not heard one word about the tea parties in the MSM. It’s as if they aren’t going on. Are they ignoring inconvenient truths, such as the fact that there is significant opposition to Obama out there?
I thought we’re supposed to confront inconvenient truths, but I guess that only applies to liberal causes or if you have the gravitas of an Al Gore.
Sorry, I forgot to add that I noticed local news channels 8, 13 and Fox 59 at the protest. I’ll post links if they decide it makes the cut.
You are correct! Total blackout. We got to get more people involved!!! Then....maybe...just maybe.....
Life in this country is different for the liberals than for the hard working folk.
Hey....I thought you knew that! :-)
One solution would be to hold them in front of AIG execs homes.
Dilbert, as it turns out you are correct:
From an email, FYI:
CHANNEL 8’s COVERAGE by political reporter Jim Shella
http://www.wishtv.com/dpp/news/politics/Group_host_Revolt_at_the_Statehouse_20090325 .
The original Channel 8 report which aired at noon was scrubbed from the internet by 6pm on Wednesday, March 25th. Notice how there are two date stamps on the Channel 8 coverage? He came back from the event after laughing at us, calling us “whack jobs” all day and headed straight to the editing room to put together that “hit piece” against taxpayers.
Now, compare Shella’s report to other unbiased coverage around Indiana, and if you agree Shella’s coverage was malicious and biased, please forward this message to every email list you are on and don’t let the media manipulate what people think of taxpayers who stand up for transparency and the rule of law!

Yesterday, an email list we saw suggested a boycott of WISH-TV advertisers like statewide grocer to the masses, Marsh Supermarkets who is also a big sponsor of the Indianapolis Pacers. You will recall from listening to several of the rally speakers, that taxpayers have a big problem brewing with a push to make taxpayers bailout the billionaire team owners of the Colts and Pacers.
Shella’s television coverage gave no mention of the sports bailout.
