Newsweek blogger Ben Adler thinks the national media are giving the Tea Parties gentle treatment.
"Unfortunately," Adler wrote in a June 21 post, "what appear to be false notions of objectivity - or perhaps a lack of interest in policy - is preventing that coverage from illuminating what the movement actually represents and what it would do if empowered."

A thousand pardons, sahib. "Newsweak" indeed.
(though, I have been partial to New-speak)
Five gold stars... and your name on the blackboard for a week...
I suggest this fella learn to read. The signs at the Tea party tell it all. So do the speakers.
The problem with the left and the media is that they think everyone is like them. They have to lie and hide what their real agenda is and it is hard for them to believe that the Tea parties do not have to lie.
