Re: GOP Dream derailed by Tea Party?
Btw, just to save us time where you demand proof of something that's in your own link...From the Wiki link you posted:
Quote:
US News and World Report reported that the nature of the coverage of the protests has become part of the story.[113] On CNN's Situation Room, journalist Howard Kurtz commented that "much of the media seems to have chosen sides." He says that Fox News portrayed the protests "as a big story, CNN as a modest story, and MSNBC as a great story to make fun of. And for most major newspapers, it's a nonstory."[113] There are reports that the movement has been actively promoted by the Fox News Channel, indicating a possible media bias.[114][115]
Tea Party protesters walk towards the United States Capitol during the Taxpayer March on Washington, September 12, 2009.In April 2010, responding to a question from the media watchdog group Media Matters posed the previous week, Rupert Murdoch, the chief executive of News Corporation which owns Fox News, said, “I don’t think we should be supporting the Tea Party or any other party.” That same week Fox News canceled an appearance by Sean Hannity at a Cincinnati Tea Party rally.[116]
Following the September 12 Taxpayer March on Washington, Fox News claimed it was the only cable news outlet to cover the emerging protests and took out full-page ads in The Washington Post, the New York Post, and The Wall Street Journal with a prominent headline reading, "How did ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN miss this story?"[117]
CNN news anchor Rick Sanchez disputed Fox's claim pointing to various coverage of the event.[118][119][120] CNN, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, and CBS Radio News provided various forms of live coverage of the rally in Washington throughout the day on Saturday, including the lead story on CBS Evening News.[118][120][121][122]

And then of course, you recall I posted this pic in another thread awhile back don't you? Where are the NBC/CBS/ABC anchors hosting rallies?
