ALL THE NEWS THAT’S FIT TO PRINT – PART TWO

Let’s see, now. The Thursday Washington Times [print edition] reported on Wednesday’s tea parties on the front page, above the fold, with three pictures. A second article was inside the first section, on page A15. Both articles were national in scope.

The [Manassas VA] News & Messenger reported on Wednesday’s tea party in Woodbridge, Virginia, on the front page, again above the fold, with two photos from the protest. It did not mention other tea party protests.

The Washington Post [print edition] coverage was a mostly negative article, with a single protest photo, in the B [Metro] section. There was no mention of other protests until the eighth paragraph, on page B2 inside. Nothing to see here, folks. Nope. Nothing. Just move along now.

[Update] Oops. I missed Dana Milbank's snark on page B2.
