Our Passing Strange Media

The nation's major metropolitan newspapers and broadcast networks certainly were quick to disparage the Tea Parties as ugly, racist, stupid, and (at least potentially) dangerous and violent. And this litany is a continuing one. All without a bit of supporting evidence and a complete absence of any outbreak of violence.

Nonetheless the same "news outlets" find endearing and praise the vile, mindlessly irrational, rock throwing, garbage strewing,  flag burning mobs protesting Arizona's legally enacted legislative effort to control the flow of illegal immigrants that have been transforming the state into a dangerous battleground in Mexico's violent drug wars.

. . . and they wonder why they are losing their audiences.
