"First, we are pleased to announce that the convention has sold out and we now have a waiting list which we will continue to try to clear as opportunity presents. In this light, we have had numerous requests for press passes and the resulting expected coverage. However, as we have set expectations that this is a working convention, we have tried not to make it a media event. In fact, Tea Party Nation has received hundreds of requests for press credentials to cover this convention. Everyone from a small town newspaper in Iowa to Fox News has asked for press credentials. We have had requests from Canada, England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Norway, Croatia and Japan. We have been hard pressed to accommodate all of these requests and do not have the space or resources to support the entirety of the press corp. Indeed, we have asked the hotel if they would be willing to provide a press room during the convention."
Now...let's see......FOX Nation is supporting this event....but.... "We have been hard pressed to accommodate all of these requests and do not have the space or resources to support the entirety of the press corp"
Do I smell a "FOX only" coverage and all sorts of trumped up misinformation about what took place, the number of attendees, etc?
Am I being too skeptical?

One of the commenters on this foxnation article speculates that Fox News will "accidently" [sic] run old footage from a previous Republican National Convention and claim it's from the teabagger convention! Shall we take bets? LOL
