Was there a coordinated effort to spread the 2 million teabagger lie? |
|
I think there was. They even tried to pass earlier protest pictures as the Teabag event. Speaker after speaker at the podium kept saying that it was the biggest teabag event ever exceeding 1.5 million people. Right wing blogs and tweets/facebook were spreading the 2 million figure. Rightwing paper "the Daily Mirror" picked it up without any facts. Message boards covering varying topics (not politcs) got inundated with freepers posting links to bogus pictures, faulty blogs, and the Daily Mirror bogus story. This is what the right does, bold face lies to work there way into the mainstream press. Looks like this time ABC called them out on it.
