Rachel showing Teaparty rallies today with thousands, uh, er hundreds of protesters.

She's pointing out now how the Teaparty is essentially a dead movement and that the media is WAY over-inflating their importance.

In most areas where they drew 3000+ people in past years, they drew hundreds today

Now she's showing how the Union protests are now 10 - 20 X larger than Teaparty protests, yet the media simply ignores them.

Rachel is a great reporter.

I'm watching. Now Chris Hayes is on with her, and they are both wondering why the Tea Party is still getting so much attention, etc.

Um, Rachel, Chris? A lot of it is because the media gives it to them!

Where's the mystery?

My daily newspaper does the same thing. Every Tea Party event gets coverage. All but one of the lager union and We Are One rallies were ignored. They even carried a wire story about a pro-labor rally in Chicago that didn't mention we had a large one here.
