Protestors gathered outside the offices of NBC Action News on Saturday to voice their opinions about the station's news coverage.


KANSAS CITY, Mo. – More than 50 protesters gathered outside the offices of NBC Action News Saturday afternoon saying the station favors President Obama in its coverage.

The group protested what they call biased, liberal news coverage over a broad range of issues, including health care, Obama’s $787 billion stimulus bill and reporting on the number of people attending recent Tea Party events.

Protesters gathered at the station at 4 p.m. and were still at the station as of 6 p.m.

About that attendance at their teabag events - I heard this guy talking to the reporter and he was claiming there were 20,000 at a recent rally. I have attended quite a few of their rallies and I moved over closer to the guy to hear which rally he was talking about. He told the reporter the date and the place and I had been there! There were 100 of them at that rally. I posted pics of it here. We even had cops there who counted the group! Now, how much of a stretch is it to make 100 turn into 20,000!! I about bust a gut laughing.
