Tea Party Convention Closed to Media


The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports the First National Tea Party Convention next month "will be closed to the press, other than for a limited number of "selected" journalists. No word on who or how many."

"The restrictions apparently apply to the much-anticipated speeches by Sarah Palin and Minnesota's own Michele Bachmann."

1. The word "Quarantined" comes to mind.

This is a disease, after all.

[Bluzmann57]

2. Zzzzzz

If they won't let the press in, then let's hope we hear nothing about it.

[T Wolf]

3. It will be pitched 24/7 on Fuck and hate radio. It will be unavoidable once the "locked out"

media start to comment on the "news" coming from the embedded propagandists.

4. We could always make up stuff.

Most likely it would be nearly 100% correct.

5. ....other than for a limited number of "selected" journalists

crazy.

8. sympathetic corporate Pravda press only

All the better to keep us dirty liberals from selecting a 'worst of' selection for Rachael Maddow.

Seriously, could the media just do what they did so well for the anti war movement back in early 2003 and pretend that the teabaggers don't exist?

9. What's to stop a journalist from just buying a ticket and taking notes?

[Javaman]

10. LET'S GET READY TO STOOOOOOOPID!!!!! NT

[asjr]

11. My, My, without the media there the

baggers will have to pour their own tea.

[gratuitous]

12. They don't want to be outnumbered

Think birders crowding around an ivory-billed woodpecker.

[leftynyc]

13. Lemme guess

faux news, rush, and all the other mouth breathing wingers?

[euphoria12leo]

14. Without the media

we won't get the facts. I'm sorry, my badd. With the media there we won't get the facts.
