http://conservapedia.com/Tea_Party_Movement

I thought, mainly because I have been slow to post and most of the big websites about the TEA party movement have already been used, I would go for a Wikipedia like website. I chose Conservapedia because it is a wiki about conservatism and its editors are right wing in their ideology, and would probably be supportive of the TEA party movement. Which of course they were.

In the UK we have a very obvious extreme parties that can be seen as good or bad, they represent portions of the population, UKIP for example. However when one party goes to far, in my opinion, they can be seen by the majority of the voting public to be outrageous and silly, like what happened with Nick Griffin and the BNP.However the TEA party in America is very subtle, on this wiki there is no criticism, thus making it bias, which I believe is a good view of how the TEA party portrays itself.

This wiki then had to be taken with a pinch of salt as obviously like most wikis anyone in an academic position throws garlic and a cross at it. But it is obvious that someone has written this wiki with an agenda and they cleverly worded it thus it would persuade those who read it to their point of view.
