It's funny, all the media outlets such as newspapers, TV stations and the like, all the ones that are calling these protests "Right Wing" and "Extremist" and etc. are the ones that are failing miserably in ad revenue and ratings.

This isn't a Right - Left thing, this is an out of control government thing. People are waking up to the fact that the government has created all these problems with bad legislation, and to "fix" the problem they are trying to legislate more bad policies.

This partisan hack of a "journalist" is a prime example of what is happening. What I mean by that is that partisan hacks, on both sides, fail to have objective views and it is NEVER their fault for anything bad that happens, all they do is point fingers.

People are waking up to the truth of the matter, this has been a long time coming and I wouldn't say the government is scared, but concern is growing amongst them though, if the DHS report that was released as any indication of that.

Funny thing is its all going to back fire on them hardcore. It already is, this administration just lumped the left in with "right wing extremist". I was watching Colbert or Stewart, can't remember which one, but usually when something about Obama comes on the crowd is cheering and applauding loudly, not so this time the reaction was very weak.

The whole point that I'm trying to make is that the Media is losing ground and it is showing, the more the Media acts like a mouth piece for their political view the more they stoke the flames. Just a month ago this country was looking like a pre-revolutionary France, but now it is starting to look like pre-revolutionary America.

If you want a socialist or communist country, get the hell out and move to one.

Obama made his stimulus plan evident BEFORE ELECTIONS. He was voted in as president, so stop being a sore loser and accept that fact that he is issuing a stimulus plan.... the fact that you are telling us to leave if we want things to change just shows how anti-american you really are. If you want things to never change and stay constant move to North Korea. It's been 2 months people, give the man a year as president and then you can judge.

whats wrong with fox news? who was actually trying to cover the tea parties and what they represented rather than CNN who wanted to pretend everyone is a nutcase.

This not only exposed CNN for what it truly is- it represents a separation from the people to the media head on, rather than beating around a bush.

Fox News by no means is a savior but compared to CNN its gold to tinfoil.

Everyone hates fox news but when are asked for a valid news source they are speechless. Pure hypocrites...

OK, i went and cried in the bathroom, i feel a lot better. I'm trying to stay on topic, but when i see somebody use a term like that to describe somebody, and then in the next breath demean somebody else for using a far less offensive name i get a little agitated.

It's kind of like when Fox news calls protesters under the Bush administration Anti Americans and then praises protesters under the Obama administration as Freedom Fighters...

Many responding so harshly to Obama have been students of american history and politics for years. Thus we dont need to give Obama a year. We can tell whats going on right now. Much of which is really nothing new in the main. Obama is being driven to make up ground for the hard core liberals that have been out of power for several years now.

Most of Obamas supporters are young, hard core socialists or people that want to see him succeed for personal reason like race for example. Yet Obama is just the most resent version of an old pot of cooking.

All I can say is that I always kind of thought of CNN as being in the middle.. not as extremely liberal as msnbc and not as conservative as fox. However, after I watched that reporter react like a lunatic it really lowered my opinion of them. Hopefully, this is not how the management at CNN feels and they will make the right decision and fire her. Her actions were out of control regardless of what side of political spectrum you are on. I have never seen a reporter act like that before.

Honestly, I kind of have always felt the same about CNN but felt it more depending on who was reporting. For example, I've always thought Lou Dobbs leans more right despite calling himself an independant. The lady in the video obviously leans left. With CNN to me its always been more who was reporting as to what slant I'd hear about the news.

Im not trying to make this a topic solely about the media, but that seems to be what it's already become, so here: does anyone listen to NPR? It seems to me that, regardless of what political party is in power, they are always reporting real news, not partisan crap like so many of the tv news channels and programs do. NPR has been talking about the Tea Parties for a while now, and while not actually promoting them, they do give times and locations for a lot of the ones in the major cities. I for one, didn't even know that one was going on in Louisville yesterday until I heard about it on NPR.

Again, not trying to make this about the media, but it seems there are some people out there who still care about the NEWS, and not who's on the right, and who's on the left.

Alot of stars for the same statements in this thread - which I don't mind at all!

I would really like to know wtf is going on with Fox lately. Really, it's bothering the hell out of me. I think maybe they are speaking up about the truth so people will say "FOX news said it? It can't be true!"

But who knows... really...
