Tea Parties

Fifteen years ago this week, left-wing cable networks employed adolescent jokes to belittle the grass roots anti-Obama Tea Party movement, while the broadcast networks decried it as a front for “corporate interests.”

It’s clear who would win PBS’s vote for the Republican Party nomination: Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who in the first GOP presidential debate bowed to “reality” by declaring a federal law against abortion a non-starter. Washington Week host Laura Barron-Lopez and NPR reporter Domenico Montanaro accused Tea Party activists and Tea Party rally attendees of racist thought,…

In the latest installment of CNN's special series on the 2010s, from Sunday, the liberal news network devoted an hour to recalling prominent political movements that occurred during the decade.

For the third episode of Iconic America, PBS explored the history and meaning of the Gadsden Flag and during the portion covering the Tea Party protests during the Obama era, the assorted cast sought to reduce those protests to racists and other bigots.

New York Times tech reporter Kevin Roose smeared the Tea Party by comparing it to the nutty QAnon conspiracists on Friday’s front page: “Far Right to Election Night: QAnon Gaining at Ballot Box.” The jump-page text box underlined the offensive comparison: “Two movements with similar roots on conservative fringes.” According to the conservative-hostile Roose, there are "more parallels…

Liberal media elites sure don’t seem to have a problem with life-crippling stay-at-home orders stretching through 2020 into 2021 and 2022, do they? On Friday’s Situation Room, CNN host Wolf Blitzer and chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta griped about how President Trump would not only acknowledge the mental toll that they’ve taken on the American people, but not denouncing those voicing…
