Unhappy with tea party coverage
How disappointing to pick up my morning Daily Herald expecting to see the headlines reflecting the humongous outpouring of citizens on April 15 at the thousands of tea parties across the country, only to find the headline "Who else could be on a reality show?"
A fluff piece on Blago!!!!! That deserves to be a headline??? There was more coverage in the paper regarding Blagovjevich possibly being on a reality show than the tens of thousands of concerned people worried about their futures.
Oh, but wait, there was a tiny mention at the bottom of the front page below the fold entitled "Tea Party." Wow, what coverage! Even the article on page two was woefully inadequate in its interpretation of what really happened.
Your readers deserve to know how really huge this protest was and they certainly won't get the information from your coverage in the April 16 paper!
This was a protest by peaceful, taxpaying citizens who are fed up with high taxes, wasteful spending and big government control!
