The days following the rally in Washington, DC on Sept. 12th highlighted obvious bias in the media.

The most offensive of all coverage of the “Tea Party” protest that took place on Sept. 12th was by CNN. The outlets that simply chose to ignore the rally took the high road by comparison. CNN had a bus parked on 3rd St half-way through the rally when it was in full swing. The footage that CNN managed to broadcast featured an empty mall, not the lawns surrounding the Capitol Building where people were packed in just hours prior. The most disturbing aspect of the segment done by CNN reporter Jim Spellman and anchorman Don Lemon, was when the participants are painted as the paranoid fringe. Quote:

“One of the things that we heard over and over again is that is that its sorta the death panel thing taken to several degrees past that, where the president is gonna set up these death camps where they’re gonna do forced sterilization and that the government is taking over the internet to stifle, you know, speech and there is gonna be forced vaccination… it really is out there, Don…”
- Jim Spellman, CNN

CNN may call this reporting… in truth, this was an effort to marginalize the rally by focusing on a few lunatics who showed up at every tea party rally across the nation. The great majority of participants simply felt that the US was heading at break-neck speed towards socialism and too much government control of their lives. Keep smirking, Don.

Then there is the segment where the Chicken-News-Network threw poor Lisa Desjardin to the rally-goers. Fredricka Whitfield “forewarns” the audience that there may be some shouting, then proceeds to ask Desjardin about Joe Wilson. The protestors shout “Tell the truth! Tell the truth!” Maybe CNN should try reporting the story; there was a time many years ago when they did.

Go ahead CNN; ignore the happy and patriotic rally-goers. Gloss over the reasoned statements and concerns. Is there any wonder why they shout down your reporters?

UPDATE:

Recent segments aired by CNN on 9/15 ask about the “racial overtones” of the rally. Our readers are encouraged to peruse the many pictures that were taken of the rally and are posted on this site for the world to see. See for yourself if anything there is anything “racist”. CNN and other “liberal” information sources are in denial that a large segment of middle class America is disheartened by their President’s POLICIES. Look to see the word and accusation of “racist” diminish significantly in value over the next few months due to overuse and misuse. It appears to be the only card left in the deck.
