The Tea Party coverage today allows viewers a perfect 
    textbook comparison of how the legacy media covers 
    political protests. Throughout the decade, leftwing 
    protests against President Bush and the liberation of Iraq 
    were reported as the salt of the earth; democracy in 
    action; everyday Americans expressing their voice.  A quick
    scroll through the archives at Zombietime will quickly 
    prove that those descriptions are simplisme at best.
