Everyone who follows what’s happening in the country knows that Mark Williams and the Republican-owned Tea Party Express was ousted from the Tea Party Federation of which the Tea Party Patriots movement is the largest member. Mark Williams was accused of racist remarks he wrote in response to the recent NAACP resolution about the Tea Party movement. (more here and here)
What is now a concern to the TPP is why CNN continues to give Williams air time to argue his case. The answer is fairly obvious; as a liberal voice CNN knows it can damage the TP movement by continuing to broadcast interviews with Williams. The audience not in the know about the structure and make-up of the TP movement can therefore be convinced that its accusers of racism are on the mark, and therefore they can chalk the whole TP ball of wax up on the Ku Klux Klan side of the ledger. Yellow journalism comes in many hues.
