13. Funny that CNBC would go to the tea-baggers
and not to anyone on the 'left' looking for some excitement to cover and call it 'news'. We are definitely doing something wrong, yet again. Dems also seem to be reacting instead of leading the way.

I remember a few years ago when CNN first hired Glenn Beck and thousands of people wrote to them objecting to the decision. As always, Dems were instructed to 'be polite' so they didn't look like 'leftie lunatics'.

Someone asked the head of CNN why he ignored 'liberals' and his answer was 'they don't scream loud enough' or something like that.

Manufactured news is not news. These Town Hall riots are just a distraction and it looks like the media is doing its part to help Corporate America keep everyone distracted from the real issues.
