Saturday's dispatch from Obama's health care town hall forum held in Montana yesterday was telling in terms of how the press continues to prop up angry health care opponents as being inherently newsworthy, while bascially dismissing those who support reform.

Here's the key passage fom the Times article:

...participants otherwise seemed overwhelmingly supportive of the president.

Obama held a forum on health care, and in this case, the crowd was “overwhelmingly supportive.” So how many supporters did the Times article quote? Zero. In the article, the Times was only intersted in detailing what a small number of town hall critics had to say. Those were the only voices the Times reporter thought were important to the coverage.
