CNBC's Larry Kudlow: 'Don't Believe the Mainstream Media - Tea Parties Are Bullish For Free-Market Economy'

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Via NewsBusters, the Media Research Center isn't the only ones out there telling folks to be wary of the media and its coverage of the Tea Party movement; on his Sept. 15 broadcast, Larry Kudlow, host of CNBC's "The Kudlow Report," hit the very same point - referring to "Tea Party" primary win in Delaware, New York and New Hampshire, Kudlow explained that this shift to the right was a net-positive for the economy:

"Tonight, free-market capitalism on the comeback trail," Kudlow said. "That is one of the messages of the Tea Party power. We saw a lot of that power last night in the primaries. I tell you what folks, that Tea Party power, that free-market capitalist power is so totally bullish for the stock market."
Kudlow advised his viewers to be skeptical of the media, which has covered the Tea Party movement and their candidates very critically, even sometimes disparagingly. He cited the "Contract FROM America," a document put forth by various conservative organizations calling on elected leaders and political candidates to stand on a number of conservative principles.

"Don't believe the mainstream media," he continued. "Don't believe the pundits in either the Republican Party or the Democratic Party. They don't understand Tea Parties. I do. We've had them on this show time and time again as guests, including, including their referendum, the "Contract FROM America."
