NBC offered free publicity to the Tea Party Express, assigning Rehema Ellis to narrate greatest-hit soundbites from Sarah Palin's speech at the Express' rally on Boston Common. "We'll keep clinging to our Constitution and our guns and religion--and you can keep the change," was how Palin teased Barack Obama. Dean Reynolds was also on Boston Common for CBS. He used the news hook of Palin's speech to draw a statistical profile of Tea Party supporters, according to his own network's in-house opinion poll. Who are the Tea Party? They are mostly male (59%), almost all white (89%), largely self-styled conservatives (73%), and hardly affected (6%) by unemployment. An enormous majority (92%) see a socialist future for the United States under the leadership of President Obama. Where do they get coverage of politics? Almost two thirds (63%) go to FOX News Channel.
