NY Media Ignores Times Square Tea Party

We noted Wednesday a Tea Party was being held in Times Square. Judging by the lack of coverage, the local media would rather you think it just didn't happen.

You can see photos and a recap at The Berman Post.

Outside of this sneeringly condescending item from the Village Voice the event was entirely ignored by local print media. I wasn't watching any newscasts last night so it's possible some television station mentioned it, but I doubt it.

Other than the aforementioned VV item, here's what shows up on a Google News search.

I guess the media figures an event with thousands in attendance isn't worthy of coverage.

Al Sharpton announces he's passing wind and they all flock to capture every momentous second. If Cindy Sheehan showed up for the protest du jour, scores of media would follow.

Taxpayers protesting intrusive government? Not worth their time.
