Real Clear Politics has noted Skull and Bones recruiter ,Senator John Kerry, talking about limiting the exposure of the tea party in the media:
"And I have to tell you, I say this to you politely. The media in America has a bigger responsibility than it's exercising today. The media has got to begin to not give equal time or equal balance to an absolutely absurd notion just because somebody asserts it or simply because somebody says something which everybody knows is not factual."Kerry misses the good old days when the Eastern Establishment could "sell" the masses on regulation, higher prices, and limiting competition in the name of "the public interest".
"It doesn't deserve the same credit as a legitimate idea about what you do. And the problem is everything is put into this tit-for-tat equal battle and America is losing any sense of what's real, of who's accountable, of who is not accountable, of who's real, who isn't, who's serious, who isn't?"
