"Crashing the Tea Party" challenges conventional dogmas related to
the most recent movement of choice of conservative America and the
mass media. This book undertakes a critical journalistic and
scholarly examination of the Tea Party at the national and local
level. Through firsthand observation of local Tea Party chapters,
Street and DiMaggio uncover details about the Tea Party that have
remained largely unexplored. Is the Tea Party a genuine social
movement or a top-down interest group created largely by the mass
media, Republican Party, and corporate funding? Street and DiMaggio
explore this question systematically, closely documenting their
results. They show how mass media reporting and commentary affect
public opinion of the Tea Party and its preferred policy whipping
boy, health care reform, in particular. This book fills the gap in
public understanding of how social movements fit within the larger
political ideologies on the left and right, and the growing role of
media in influencing public opinion on major issues of the day.
Street and DiMaggio cover the Tea Party from the inside out, and in
the context of the 2010 Midterm elections, the Wisconsin Worker
Movement, and the Arab Spring."
