The Messenger
While the Country was fully steeped in tea bag rallies, Leo was not so sure that the messenger was quite so trustworthy to deliver the message that these rallies were conveying. From the Newts to the Hannitys to the Limbaughs and the Becks, these all seem like unlikely messengers of fiscal responsibility. Fun to be had with the tea bag rally and its innumerable innuendos, some news, and we take your calls.

These are the questions to ask! Sev. months ago I read Michelle Malkin's article in which she stated that she was providing the food for some "stimulus" protest events. The intent of such "protests" or demonstrations is seriously compromised if journalists promote and fund them in advance. What are the journalistic ethics of a supposed journalist funding or advertising a "protest" and then reporting on it? Is M Malkin a journalist, or is she a blogger and a commentator.
I have never seen a major news outlet, or even an alternative news outlet, promote events like Fox News promoted the Tea Parties. It's clear that journalism was compromised there.
