Media Reality Check: During Debt Talks, Liberal Media Savaged Tea Party as Ignorant, Irrational Terrorists
August 1, 2011 No Comment
For the past month, as the debt talks slogged on in Washington, the so-called mainstream media unleashed increasingly hysterical attacks on the Tea Party and anti-tax hike conservatives — epitomizing the liberal elite’s supreme annoyance at the push to curb federal spending and contain the size of government.

When we first laid eyes and hands on Motorola’s first Android offering for Virgin Mobile, we were pleasantly surprised. The Triumph proved to be one of the better looking and performing pre-paid handsets we’d had the pleasure of holding in our sweaty mitts, but we had one major hangup: the name. Call us old fashioned, but we’re of the mind that it’s unsportsmanlike to claim victory before the race has even begun. After all, we aren’t looking at an iPhone killer here.

The answers to this and other, less alliterative, questions await you after the break.
