    Greetings:

    Here are some facts regarding the April 11th Pennsylvania Tea Party at Allegheny Landing:

    - The Pennsylvania Tea Party on April 11th had an estimated attendance of 4000-5000 people. Care to see pictures?
    - The Pennsylvania Tea Party on April 11th had nothing to do with Tobacco Taxes (as some media reported), did not include Mr. Glen Meakem as a guest speaker (as some media reported), and, was neutral in any perceived attack on a particular party or politician (as per Dr. Keyes exceptional speech). One of the media's story was so inaccurate that it was pulled approximately 12 hours after web publication. So much for integrity in reporting!

    So, it appears that one media outlet stated FACTS (Sunday Tribune Review - Front Page - Mr. Tony LaRussa).

    I guess that the reporting in the City Paper stands with those who chose inaccuracy, inconsistency, and biased media coverage over the facts of the actual event, and, that which defines true journalism.

    In summary, I have but one message for the reporting by the City Paper with respect to this story:

    "What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
