Bozell: Media Display Disgusting and Cowardly Behavior in Covering Tea Party Protests

March 23rd, 2010 2:40 PM

The crescendo of bigotry by the left-wing media against the Tea Party movement reached a disgusting pinnacle yesterday with MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann indicting the entire movement as being homophobic racists based on the actions of a few fringe protestors.

The media coverage from other networks - particularly ABC and CBS - the past few days has followed suit, attributing to the millions of Americans who fiercely oppose ObamaCare the disgraceful outbursts of a few.

In response, Media Research Center President and NewsBusters Publisher Brent Bozell issued the following statement today:

What an exercise in hypocrisy. Some of you in the left-wing so-called ‘news' media have actively participated in insulting conservatives with vulgar ‘tea bagging' jokes. You've done it on live national television, snickering at your own snarky gay sense of humor. And if you haven't done that, you have been a coward, doing nothing to condemn your colleagues for their disgusting behavior.

Don't you dare give us any more lectures on civility. You hypocrites disgust me.
