9. The media sabotaged it all by blowing up the Tea Party Movement into what it never was.

If the news media were airing complaints against the government, it seems to me they were giving disproportionate time to Tea Party activists and ultra-right wing elements more than anybody on the left.

People like to mistake the "left" in the US as a force to be reckoned with. It isn't. It is emasculated, weak, disorganized, and out of power. Rightists who are supported with money from corporations have hitting power far beyond what they would normally have.
