Tea Party update

Wow! the Kansas City Tea Party in Overland Park in front of Johnson County Community College is definitely a BIG HIT!

At 5:30, 30 minutes before it was scheduled to start, there were probably close to 200 people already there with their signs and lining the streets of College and Quivera. At just after 6:00, I would estimate close to 500 with more people walking the streets, with their signs, to get to the location.

Traffic was unbelievable... worse than rush hour. The only thing I can compare it to is July 4 fireworks traffic at the center of the action. Traffic was literally bumper to bumper in two and three lanes in all four direction of the intersection. There was multiple cars honking support and each honk got the crown yelling, waving and holding the signs higher.

One of the other Tea Parties was shown on the 5 o'clock local news. It was at the National WWI Memorial (the only National WWI Memorial). At that time I would estimate 1,000 attendees.

Unfortunately, the main stream media, including CNN, still don't get it! They have reported that most of the Tea Parties have 100-300 attendees. Wrong! That is why CNN and other main stream media outlets are losing viewers. They have lost the ability to identify a real story that Americans are interested in. They are used to telling us what the main stories are and telling us what to think and whom to vote for.

Americans are getting their bellies full of this type of reporting. What ever happened to old time honest reporting of the stories and the anchors keeping their personal opinions to themselves during the reporting? If anchors want to give personal opinions it used to be done via editorials... do they not understand that?
