Funny, Dana doesn’t mention that Fox News sponsored the whole Tea Party, with producers cheering on crowds behind the scenes and 24/7 coverage by not just Fox but by Dana’s employers at CNN, as well. Didn’t bother her then and she ignores it now.I…

#BigMedia ‘s search for coherence, for an articulated purpose or clearly enunciated demand, for the “real meaning” of the #occupy movement is amusing if not characteristic. (“What do they want?” “What are their d…
