Bozell Discusses Media's Persistent Attack on Tea Party Candidates with FBN's Stuart Varney

That's how NewsBusters publisher and Media Research Center President Brent Bozell reacted this morning on Fox Business Network's "Varney & Company" to the media's drumbeat of criticism regarding Tea Party-backed Republican nominees for office this November.

The Great Society has all failed. They can't defend this lurch into socialism. And now the numbers are coming back and the numbers are horrific. So they can do one of two things: acknowledge that they're wrong or demonize the opposition to the extent that the opposition will be seen less favorably than they [are].
