“a party for Obama bashers….It’s anti-government, anti- CNN , since this is highly promoted by the right wing conservative network, Fox”It’s amazing to think that the Tea Party movement kicked off fifteen years ago and it’s important to remember how the media covered it. When you look at the coverage of Trump and Trump supporters today, the media coverage isn’t much different. It tends to swing back and forth between mockery and outright disdain.
