Dana Milbank writing something...
We had a smashing Tea Party out there in front of the White House today!
What was quite impressive and exhilarating was that despite the cold wind and the driving rain nearly four thousand people had gathered to voice their concerns…
Something had stirred them to venture out on such a day, something that was important enough to compel them to brave the nasty weather in a show of force.
These were not extremist fringe radicals, as the mainstream media has been purporting incessantly, but rather ordinary folks, grandmothers, and parents, and children, and teenagers, our neighbors, and friends, teachers, and doctors, and economists, and scientists, and veterans, who had gathered and huddled to protest, not just here in DC but across the Nation.
But of course, as expected, none of the positive messages were portrayed by the mainstream media — this especially being the case with the Washington Post.
As we were interviewing folks for the short film we’re making for the day’s event, my eyes caught sight of Dana Milbank from the Post. He was furtively jotting down on his notepad.
Naturally I approached him and asked him whether he’d put a positive spin on the day’s message. He smiled with a twinkle in his eyes, and half-jokingly, but with a layer of confident disregard, said “you know I won’t do that!”
Well of course, Dana, we knew that pal!
And true to form, later in the afternoon, in his article (click to read) he managed to ignore the glow of the rekindled passion of a people who are beginning to stand for their rights and demand clarity and transparency from their elected government.
The Great Awakening of a people has begun and the media cannot indefinitely keep the Nation in a sedated and passive dark torpor.
