We Have A Winner! Absolutely, Positively WORST Tea Party Day Coverage in the Galaxy

Even by "Behind the Maple Curtain" standards, this is unbelievable....

RESIZE: AAA

Okay, we weren’t expecting much of the local news media up here behind the Maple Curtain.

Among the three local television outlets, the largest of them has nothing at all. The combined Fox/ABC (separate stations, but merged news team) has a small and anodyne story.

But the national prize for obtuse media bias has to go to….

This:

Protestors Want Vermont Taxes Raised

No, that’s not even the Tea Party (which drew about 500 people). It’s some small group of fleabags who have been having regular ventings demanding that other people’s taxes be raised.

I’ve seen plenty of obtuse and counter-reality media bias in my time; but this one really takes the proverbial cake…

    local channel FOX 5 in DC doing a story on the post offices only being open until 8PM instead of 12AM because of the “bad economy” did their story from the Merrifield Post Office and IGNORED the entire TEA Party ie: 100+ people and NOT ONE PEEP! I of course have called to complain and sent an email as well!

      worst biased reporting I have seen out of any station in the DC area. Fox 5 is the queen of Obama praise and pandering to the DC electorate. They continue to leave the residents in the beltway absolutely clueless on the affairs of our country. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to competely discredit Fox 5 news for their sensationalizing of stories and the hands down falling over themselves coverage of the King Obama.

        we DVR’d them to see if there was anything on the TEA parties because we were at one :-)

      during the tea party and asked why they weren’t covering the rampaging right-wing rioters there. They’d have sent their entire staff and then gotten pissed when they saw they got had.
