Tea Party Express praises "great television news coverage" from Fox News and CNN

November 17, 2009 9:12 am ET by Media Matters staff

In an email to supporters, the Tea Party Express praised "some of the great television news coverage this effort has received.  Media coverage is an important aspect of the Tea Party Express tours - it's all about getting our message out to millions of Americans - to inform them that there is an active political resistance against the socialist agenda of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid." 

The Tea Party Express' examples of "great television news coverage" included links to numerous segments on Fox News and CNN about their efforts.

      Is that why the White-House has Roger Ailes Fretting?

      But I thought Fox said that CNN didn't cover the Tea Party Express! Shouldn't these guys stay on message?

      I'm gonna have to ask Rush Limbaugh how they managed to get this coverage on Obama's State-Run Media.
