Progressive blogger Amy Goodman at Truthdig makes a trenchant observation about the way the mainstream media sometimes cover right-wing versus left-wing events. The "nut" graph:

They weren't carrying the banner of the tea party, the Gadsden flag with its coiled snake and the threat 'Don't Tread on Me.' Yet their message was clear: 'We are the 99 percent that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1 percent."
