As much as I bitch about the Free Press getting it wrong, I should give them their kudos when they get it right: the coverage they gave the protests this week in Lansing against Gov. Snyder and the republican policies here in Michigan (5000+ in attendance) versus the coverage they gave the tea party response the following day (less than 500 in attendance) was really pretty fair. They gave more ink to the bigger rally and it got a little more prominent heading (as it should have based on interest).
But the best part was the tone of the articles: the article on the good guys was hopeful and empowering; the one on the tea party losers clearly showed the negativity, their lack of gravitas, and was a decidedly sadder look at the future of America.
Basically, the 2012 elections in a nutshell.
