Why is CNN lying about the number of Teabaggers in Madison

[malaise]

No local reports suggested that there were thousands of baggers. Everything I read and watched showed them outnumbered by 10-1.

Fuck off CNN hack.

1. I heard 3,000 from a DU'er

Still 10-1 ratio.

4. Corporate News Network! n/t

5. Because CNN is a corporate sponsor of the Tea Party. . .

and this is why they cover any word coming from the Koch Brother's brownshirters as a breathless example of the American "grassroots."

So of course, they will pan the crowds and show closeups of the bussed-in out-of-stater corporate stooges as evidence of how powerful the TEA Party is - just like they've been doing over the last year as they've hyped this fringe groups of rightwing ideologues as the only voices of patriotic America.

6. Official numbers by the police say 3500.
