Here is something that will NEVER hit the mainstream media.

Many of you probably have seen by now the blatantly biased and hostile report given yesterday by a CNN reporter while covering the Chicago Tea Party. Below is a video of what happened right after her report as the crowd got furious about how she had wrongly portrayed the event to CNN. As the Late Great Paul Harvey would say: And Now, the rest of the Story…[WARNING: there is some fowl language on the video]

Nice journalism CNN.

UPDATE

Apparently the video of the confrontation between irate Tea Partiers in Chicago and corespondent Susan Roesgen has been removed by CNN for copyright reasons, probably because Founding Bloggers mixed in the CNN coverage with their footage. I hope FB posts the raw video to replace what was removed, they did a wonderful job pulling back the curtain on the liberal MSM. Kudos, FB!

UPDATE 2

Here is the raw footage … we’ll see how long this one lasts.

“I didn’t say this was about Democrats and Republicans…”

Yeah, right! The implication was clear… Obama is doing well by you and you should respect him.

On the other hand, she probably was as even handed towards the Bush haters 2 years ago.

This video is powerful. Founding Bloggers just discovered an incredibly effective way to keep the media from distorting the truth. I can see a new industry in videotaping the videotapers. Outstanding.

This method of grassroots exposure could be a sound-bite slayer. Exposure like this could force the news media into being more responsible … well, maybe just a little (I hope).

I saw that. Likely removed because of the mixed in CNN footage. Hopefully they will post the raw footage as an example of this blatant lib media hatchet job.

Joe – thanks for the comments. The only way that things can change is to get involved in the process.

If you didn’t attend a Tea Party in your town, make plans to do so on July 4 (www.taxdayteaparty.com).

If you are able to run for local government positions, make plans to do so.

If you are able to help with campaigns for people that you agree with, make plans to do so.

If you are able to attend forums with your local Reps and/or Senators, make plans to do so.

If you are able to write letters and make phone calls to government officials, make plans to do so.

The left is very involved at the grass roots level – it’s time that normal citizens get involved and let these politicians that are bankrupting our country (on both sides) that enough is enough. Like Twister Sister sang – “We’re Not Going to Take It!”
