The "mainstream" media in the United States is guilty of journalistic malpractice. CNN, MSNBC, and ABC News have all deliberately downplayed the tea party movement, the grassroots conservative uprising of America. What little coverage has been offered by these networks has dramatically understated attendance, and portrayed participants as violent, hate-filled, racists. Based on their treatment of the recent Tea Party Protest in Washington, D.C. - where the US media counts "tens of thousands" while the British Post reports "two million" - the next protest should take place at the headquarters of CNN. Hopefully, the same "tens of thousands" that blocked all traffic in the capital, put the metro in gridlock, and were told by police that they would have to start marching hours early because they had overrun the plaza will create a similar disruption in Atlanta.
