Study: Networks snub, malign tea party movement

The Big Three television networks virtually ignored the massive, grassroots tea party surge in 2009, and so far this year have maligned the movement as teeming with racists and violent fringe figures, according to a new report by the Media Research Center.

ABC, CBS and NBC aired just 61 stories or segments on the anti-spending movement over a 12-month period, and most of that coverage is recent. "The networks virtually refused to recognize the tea party in 2009 (just 19 stories), with the level of coverage increasing only after [Republican Sen.] Scott Brown's election in Massachusetts" in January, the report said.

Overall, 44 percent of the network's reports on the tea party suggested the movement reflected a fringe movement or a dangerous quality.
