Media caught lying about the Tea Parties

[qh4dotcom]

Even though thousands of people came to the July 4th Fort Lauderdale tea party, the politically biased Channel 4 & 10 news of South Florida came late at the end around 1:30pm when the police were taking down the barriers and started filming. Channel 4 says dozens of people showed up, channel 10 says only about 200 people showed up. There were over 3,000 folks at about 11am.

Same old shit. They did this at the Ron Paul rallies here in NH as well. 1000 plus people would show up and the news would report 100 or 200. Then they go to a McCain "rally" where there are literally 12 people there and say it was a huge turn out.

2,000 turned into 200 for our ron paul tea party. then we get a small online only retraction correcting the numbers. who hires these people?

This is why general protests/rallies are a double edge sword. The focus should be on educating the public and enabling (very important) converts to be productive (by encouraging them to further evangelize as well as driving them to seek elected office/becoming delegates/etc, anything beyond simply voting the right way).

Tried to do the same thing here in Punta Gorda. Came once it was over. The Organizer chased the reporter off.

The people who want to hide the truth.
