Media Whitewash of Union Protests, Part II

Do you remember the claims that tea party activists intentionally spit on Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver (a charge he backed away from) and that tea partyers yelled the N-word at black congressmen (which no one could produce on video)?   The mere accusation, the mere suggestion was enough for blanket network coverage.  But physical assaults by union protesters against videographers somehow aren't considered newsworthy.



More on the incident here.
