David DeGraw: "What If Fox “News” Covered Other Protests The Way They Covered The Tea Parties?" - Amped Status

[Excerpt]  ... The extent of the propaganda was intense, with unquestioned statements boasting: “In the case of the current crisis the blame appears to have been assigned almost totally to Obama, at least by the thousands of U.S. taxpayers attending near-spontaneous ‘tea parties’ in protest of the Democrats agenda of more taxes, increased spending, higher deficits and a surge of borrowing to pay for it all.”

Is this the first time the right has had a dose of media swindling? Try being an anarchist and standing up to the pigs in front of the cameras, not even Alex Jones tells the "truth" about the anarchist movement (if there is such a thing). By the way, those media outlets that were biased are owned by the same ones who reported the "patriotism" of the wars and the 'patriotism" of the right when Bush was in office. New leader = New face on a new enemy....everyone!
