Favorable MSM coverage of Tea Parties in direct proportion to negative coverage of the President
This thought occurred to me as I was going through my accumulated mail this morning and chanced up an e-mail where reader Peter Hughes alerted me to this post over at Newsbusters, Summary of the April 15 TEA Parties Media Coverage:
The media coverage of the more than 800 Taxed Enough Already (TEA) Party protests that took place in all fifty states on April 15 ranged from disdainful dismissal of their nature, significance and import, to outright hostility towards the events and individual participants, to sexual innuendo-based full-on ridicule.
Perhaps the notion came to mind because, while fixing my coffee, I was listening to FoxNews and heard that Obama had appeared more often on the cover of Time magazine than had two of his predecessors, George W. Bush his immediate predecessor, who served eight full years in the White House compared to Obama’s not quite 100 days, and a more distant predecessor Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who served just over twelve years.

I think that the more MSM redicule dissent and flount Resident Barack Hussein Obama, the more the American people see their bias.

It saddens me that ideas don’t matter anymore. Only popularity contests do. Bush was reviled for who he was, not what he did. The opposite is happening with Obama, he is loved for the idea of who he is not anything he had done in his life.

Time is just gearing up for the big secret name change to OBAMA magazine. It’ll be like Oprah, but instead of self help tips and empowering readers to feel better about themselves, it will be filled with articles on how to ‘get your fair share’ through government entitlement programs, how to be a squeaky wheel (an ACORN advice column) and Michelle’s arm workout tips.

If you’d like an Obama break, check this out.
It’s NOT work safe, but it’s truly inspired.
Best wishes,
