Guess who gets to cover the Tea Party convention? And who doesn't!

By GottaLaff

Sarah Palin is the keynote speaker at the Big TeaBagger Event. At least this time the press won't be entirely barred. In fact, in an odd "coincidence", she insisted that she be covered this time:

The five approved outlets are: Fox News, Breitbart.com, Townhall.com, World Net Daily and The Wall Street Journal. All five are widely considered to be Right-leaning organizations.
That's funny. I don't see The Nation, MSNBC, the New York Times, Talking Points Memo, HuffingtonPost, Daily Kos, The Political Carnival... (I just threw that last one in there for fun).
The National Tea Party Convention will be held Feb. 4-6 at the Opryland Hotel. In addition to Palin, scheduled speakers include Rep. Marsha Blackburn and Rep. Michelle Bachmann.
Maybe their exlusion is a good thing. Exposure to both Palin and Bachmann at one event could very well result in Exploding Head Syndrome. And everyone knows that would very likely hinder the reporting.
