Media Continues Push To Legitimize Tea Party As 3rd Party

(FLP Opinion) - In a follow-up to a post last Sunday, there is more proof that the media is all too happy to push the Tea Party movement as a legitimate 3rd Party. For the third time in five days, I saw a poll that showcased how well the Tea Party fared against Democrats and Republicans in a three way race.

No one with any political sense disputes that this outcome would greatly damage Republicans. The fact that these polls keep popping up simply encourages the Tea Party brass to come forth with a formal political platform and candidates.

If the shoe were on the other foot, do we really believe the mainstream media would be so quick to report on and prop up a political challenge to Democrats from the Left?

Absolutely no chance.

Stay tuned to this story over the next six to eight weeks. It will be very interesting to see where it leads.

It's a one-two punch for the media. Tea Party candidates and "angry white voters". Not going to work this time. Too much real anger.

This is nauseating. These people are no better than the propagandist in Germany. It's the same technique.
