(CNSNews.com) – Tea Party activists gathered outside the offices of the New York Times and NBC in Manhattan to protest what they see as a liberal bias at those news outlets. The activists said they were inspired to hold the event because of the Media Research Center’s (MRC) nationwide “Tell The Truth!” campaign, and some MRC members, including President Brent Bozell, attended the rally and spoke about bias in the media.
In explaining the reason for the protest, TeaParty365 said in a press release, “For years, the New York Times and NBC News have been pushing a partisan political agenda and calling it news. Whether on the Trillion Dollar Stimulus, a government takeover of your health care, welfare benefits for illegal aliens or hundreds of other issues, these liberal media outlets have been pushing an agenda in direct opposition to the widely held beliefs of the American People. This can’t go unchallenged any longer.”
The group’s executive director, Paul Affenita, told CNSNews.com, “The New York Times portrays us, the Tea Party, in a false manner. They make it sound like were some kind of fringe group, when we’re the exact opposite. And they do not discuss what is really happening with this country. They make it look as if Obama is giving us programs that are working, when they’re not – they’re bankrupting the nation.”
“A great example is the ‘shovel-ready jobs,’” said Affenita. “Obama was hitting the message really hard, ‘We have shovel-ready jobs, we have shovel-ready jobs.’ But then recently he announced there were no shovel-ready jobs.”
“So if the media, instead of just regurgitating the talking points of the Democratic Party and Obama, actually did their job, then people could get the truth,” he said. “And once they got the truth, we feel they could make the right decisions when voting.”
