Media Happily Promotes ‘Restore Sanity,’ Shunned ‘Restoring Honor’
Posted by Ron Futrell Oct 27th 2010 at 8:13 am in New Media, Television, media bias | Comments (3) I’ve spent much of the last two weeks on the road with the Tea Party Express anchoring the webcasting of the tour for Liberty.com.
Nice thing is, I haven’t had time to watch much TV—everything I’ve seen lately in the news has come from the web. It’s quite refreshing.
It’s also refreshing to see Americans come out with passion and homemade signs because they want to and because they are motivated to see their country return to Constitutional principles. Amazing stuff. As the activist old media searches these crowds for people they think are wackos and extremists, I see nothing but great Americans who love their country. If they are extreme, I am extreme and our Founders were extreme.
I understand on Saturday while we are in Columbus, Ohio, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert are planning a rally for supposed middle-of-the-roaders in Washington DC. Everybody wants to be Glenn Beck, don’t they? They never will be, but bless them for trying, freedom of assembly is important to us all.
While this is billed as an event to “Restore Sanity” it will probably end up as silly and sad as Colbert’s recent appearance before Congress. Anybody see sanity in that joke played by Democrats on America?
