While traveling by air across the country last week, I had occasion to work in an airport lounge which had CNN on the television. During a little more than an hour, the announcer screened videos of two pro-Democratic ads and ran a story on the so-called coffee party movement, formed by a few liberals sympathetic to Democratic policies.

It would be interesting to know how much coverage CNN has given to the tea party movement, which has brought something on the order of 1 million people into its gatherings over the past year; more than the coffee party group, I suspect, but perhaps not all that much more. And how is the coffee party movement doing?
