Leading Political Scientist Points Out Media Hides Truth About Protestors

One of America's foremost Political Scientists, Larry Sabato, observes how the mainstream media covers up the rough edges of the shabby protest movement.

I watched part of the protest march on Sunday and frankly, the things these people said could not even be aired on television.

But whereas the media creates the impression that these malcontents are engaged in the noble American tradition of speech and assembly, much of what this riff-raff has to say isn't even fit to broadcast in forms of decency and propriety.

Some of the grand oratory diplayed during this hellfest included the following:

"F" Fox News

"F" The Republicans.

Long live the Intifada. (In other words, long live terrorism. So much much for these being peaceful protestors).

One protestor F'ed out a spectator who dared ask why do these people hate America so much.

One might dismiss it as Republican spin, but you can't argue with CSPAN's inflinching eye. Unlike other networks that either edits their footage to suit their agenda or to make it even fit to show on the evening edition, CSPAN, in the spirit of true bipartisanship, shows you all the truth --- no matter how ugly. The only one with a more complete view is God Himself.
