CNN realizes that if they told the truth about the tea parties, which have been a response to government over-reaching and out-of-control spending, they would only help the movement attract more followers. So the coverage has to avoid those points at all costs, and instead focus on various smears. Of course, this issue encapsulates all of the problems at CNN, which boil down to the fraudulence of a network run by Democrats, from top to bottom, who try (and constantly fail) to convince you that they are actually independent and objective.

Do you remember when the CNN reporter actually got into a shouting match with tea party attendees, and tried to tell them all the good things that Obama was doing for them? Do you remember when Anderson Cooper called them tea baggers? So much for CNN’s objectivity.

Until CNN hires a diverse newsroom, and doesn’t just rely on left-leaning anchors, all its claims for objectivity will be little more than an joke gone old.

Yes, you are totally right on that. Not objective at all.

On the other hand, I have seen the same stuff on FOX, such as the way they covered the recent rally in support of health care. That coverage was a far cry from sending out cheer leaders to tea parties to inspire the crowd for their cameras. The media has become extremely polarized, for sure.

these reporters at cnn are told what and how to report, whether they’re for it or against it. i wish cnn reporters and other media would grow some balls and go against the grain of their employers.

The “homicidal protesters” makes contextual sense (“Kill the bill”), but you do sort of have to think about, if you actually noticed when she said it.

Otherwise, the report is a video essay from Jeanne Moos. She’s an electronic features columnist in the vein of Erma Bombeck, Art Buchwald, Calvin Trillin and Dave Barry. She isn’t a straight reporter because humor always requires a point of view — a person slipping on a banana peel is usually funnier to the witness, rather than the victim.

And the bulk of her essay was her reading signs from somebody else’s video, interspersed with members of Congress doing it from the podium. There weren’t any “offensive” signs featured and if anything, the message of the protesters was pretty unfiltered.

CNN-Commie News Network

Sure Tyler, but then CNN invented twenty four hour cable news coverage, so really, CNN is Fox News’ daddy. :-)

Objectivity, surely you jest!

Just leave it to Mediaite-Matters to pretend to being fair by “criticizing” CNN’s objectivity, when we all really know that the whole purpose of this write-up is to infuse more left wing ideological bashing of the grassroot movement which FOX News, the only true fair and balanced media, gives a fair shake. Not only do they give Tea Parties a fair shake, they were the only ones who actually embraced this grassroots movement and nicknamed it FNC Tax Day Tea Parties. Along with that only FNC and other good Americans like Dick Armey call the Tea Parties what they are: a spontaneous uprising of anger against the government the day Obama took the oath of office. That’s right, Mediaite is such a liberal sycophant to post such a soft denouncement of Commie Nurturing Nazis.

@marcus.lewis: I’m not sure if you’re being facetious, but perhaps because Francis is one of the identifiably conservative members of the main blogging staff, I felt the need to step-up and defend Ms. Moos. While apparently you’re willing to dismiss her criticism because if you’re being serious, you felt it disingenuous?

How are they supposed to win?

BTW – Frances: I would fix the spelling of your name in my previous comment, if we could edit and so you know, I don’t alway agree with your point-of-view, but I do appreciate your work.

Bravo Frances, bravo!!!

@Magister I was just preempting some of the right wing ideologues who draw inference to Media-Matters and say that Mediaite is a left wing talking point website from hell. I think I probably summed up their argument pretty succinctly; also with a little more class than some guy who is an amateur journalist who thinks that responding in the comments with awkward capitalization scattered throughout his three sentenced, two paragraph response.

@marcus.lewis: That’s what I thought, which is why I inquired.
Of course, I’m waiting for someone to say that reading the signs verbatim is a negative spin.

Are- you- serious? CNN gives the Tea Partiers their due – and with signs like “Pelosi spits in America’s face” and “commie pig” and a low brow chant from the Tea Partiers, what do you expect? The Tea Party is at best a coalition of fringe groups with two or three concepts in common among them but with their own agendas to defeat the Democrats or just plain anti-gov’t. That coalition includes the Homicide Pilot Joseph Stack and the Pentagon Shooter and the Holocaust Museum Shooter and there will be more. That’s what’s not funny.
