THE VAST LIBERAL MEDIA CONSPIRACY IN REVERSE

Our mainstream news keeps covering the tea party--even though only dozens showed up at their last rally. 2000 showed up to protest outside the Koch Brothers' office and it got no mainstream coverage. Dozens of tea partiers are covered by all news outlets, thousands of workers are ignored. Where do you get your news?

Just how sparse was the Tea Party crowd? A Bloomberg dispatch tactfully noted the rally attracted "dozens" of supporters.

Dozens!
