Katie Couric and CBS Encounter the TEA Party
“CBS News: CBS Evening News Anchor Katie Couric spoke to Tea Party leaders Michael Johns and Kellen Guida about their movement and the frustrations of those who identify with it. The Tea Party movement, Johns said, was a “visceral reaction” to the idea that “our federal government was growing too large, that too much power was being centralized, and government bureaucracies that the American people were over-taxed, in some ways over-regulated.”
(Editor’s Note: There are moments where Couric attempts to bait Johns and Guida with false assumptions & stereotypes that only serve to reveal her own bias and naivete about the purpose and scope of the grassroots effort. These two articulate beautifully the common concerns and basis for our hopes for a better America–Dan Blanchard).
