Boycott CNN / MSNBC

After getting home last night from the Kansas City Tea Party, I flipped between a number of News Networks. Obviously, FOX News did a GREAT job protraying the sentiment of the crowd and the general purpose of the events. But this is what CNN / MSNBC / and the rest of the main stream media had to say:

1. We are a bunch of right wing nut jobs.
2. We are extremists and fringe.
3. Calling us other derogatory names and slurs that I will not repeat here.
4. This was not important.
5. That we were rude, crude, and unintelligent.

I don't know where CNN and MSNBC were, but they could not have been attending ANY of the Tea Parties. What I experienced was a group of educated, diverse, and patriotic folks that cared deeply about their country. None were armed, none spoke any profanity (really, not even shouted!), and none believed that there could be anything MORE important for America's future right now. (They even picked up after themselves, NO TRASH ANYWHERE FROM 5000 PEOPLE!)

If any of these irresponsible observations from these national news outlets offend you, like they did me, then BOYCOTT CNN / MSNBC.
