CNN Estimates Tea Party Searchlight Crowd at the Same Size as it’s Audience…

You have to feel for CNN these days. It must have felt perfect they managed to get Obama elected, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid were jamming the whole leftist agenda down the legislature and rumors of a government bailout of “the media” were in the air.

CNN’s only problem is no one cares about them any more.

You must understand that when leftists get all teary eyed about freedom of the press and the unfettered flow of information they didn’t actually mean it. The last thing they want is the inability to shape the message. The lefts agenda absolutely depends on the ability to define the arguments and tell the rest of us what it is OK to say and think. Let to ourselves, humans have a tendency to run away from socialist crap like the poison it is.

The only response they have to this night mare is to spin harder: to try to shape the message even more our of line with reality. In short, more of the same. All the while they shake their heads and wail to Gaia about how we just don’t seem to care what names they call us anymore.

All of this adds up to some absolutely epic failures of propaganda. Hell, if the staff at Pravda had been this bad at what they did there would have been double shifts at the firing squad barracks just to keep up.

For instance, this is what CNN considers “hundreds: at least dozens” of people. The event is a Tea Party rally in Searchlight Nevada to demonstrate against Harry Reid and the Obama administration you can see much more over at Left Coast Rebel. These photos are from American Border Patrol, you should go there for more as well.

Now, to be fair, CNN has been having a lot of trouble with numbers lately. Larry King is down 43% for the quarter and the rest of the network isn’t doing any better. Don’t expect CNN to recover any time soon either, since they can continue to spout this kind of silliness.

“CNN executives have steadfastly said that they will not change their approach to prime-time programs, which are led by hosts not aligned with any partisan point of view.” context

Meanwhile, Fox is doing very, very well with many of it’s shows gaining huge numbers of viewers. Expect CNN and others to start whining for government intervention any day now.
