Those under the influence of FOX News claim that all other news sources are “liberally” biased. Those news sources are “the media” (FOX is not?)

Froma Harrop: How not to get your country back
The tea party mantra, “I want my country back,” resonates with many. The racial undertones can be ugly (as well as pointless).
