FOX: TAKING A GREAT THING AND RUNNING IT INTO THE GROUND!!

Can we say, OVERKILL? 3 solid days of tea party and post-tea party coverage. You'd think I'd be thrilled about that. The first day, yep, I was! The second day, I thought, okkkkkkk...the third day....ENOUGH ALREADY!!
I'm sorry but this overkill of coverage made us look like less of a "grassroots, we the people" uprising, and more of a "media-driven, right-wing, Fox/Republican cronies". It took away from our cause, it really did. This was supposed to be about US, the people...and FOX turned it around to promote themselves, making the liberals sneer and snicker even more, reaffirming their suspicions of a "right-wing" protest.
All the more reason to keep politicians OUT of future tea parties. We need to promote these parties as nonpartisan as possible. There were Democrats at these parties, we need to make sure their voices are heard.
