Media needs help

I can not defend some of the actions reportedly attributed to some participants of the Tea party movement; if they are proven to be true.

I do want to write about how the liberal media deals with people with conservative thinking. And I will use what I saw in interviews with conservative commentator and blogger Andrew Breibart.

But first I want to make it understood that I know all the vitriol does not just go from the left to the right.

The worst and most offensive of the cable TV news pundits is FOX's Glenn Beck I have personally heard him pretty much do everything but call President Obama a monkey. And Mr Beck continually makes George Soros seem like a James Bond villain who wants take over America.  Personally, I think Mr Beck is looney tunes and I hope he gets professional help. Seriously.

Now back to Mr Breibart. Before I wrote my post yesterday I did a little research. It was during that I found out that several slurs and other off color remarks were made by Tea Party supporters. It was during this research when I also learned that Mr Breibart doesn't think the slurs happened and has, in fact, has offered to donate $1000 to the NAACP if someone  comes forward with audio or video evidence that the incidents happened.

When I saw the interviews with Mr Breibart last week I had heard a little about the incidents but did not know as much about it as I do now. I understand the reasoning for the questions that were asked but I don't understand why the interviewers couldn't except his answers.

What specifically am I writing about?  I saw two different interviews with Mr Breibart last week. One was on CNN Headline News with Joy Behar and a guest inquisitor whose name I don't remember; the other was with someone on MSNBC. Unfortunately, both went about the same way.

In both interviews he was asked about the racist and sexual incidents. Mr Breiart's response was that he had heard reports about what was said but had no personal knowledge about what had happened.  In both interviews he was asked if the Tea Party was racist. Again he said not to his knowledge.  In both interviews he was repeatedly asked those types of questions in various ways. And he gave consistent answers.

From what I know now I understand why the liberal interviewers were trying to paint the whole Tea Party as racist.

What I don't like and don't understand is that during both interviews Mr Breitart said, "I have said everything I can about the racial incidents. Are there other relevant issues we can discuss?"  The response was best from Joy who became glassy eyed and went to break.

When will the name calling stop and honest discussion about the issues begin?
