Today, a chunk of staffers from the Tea Party News Network, a news site with nearly 12 million unique visitors per month, sent in their resignations over the companys despicable practices.

The resignation came soon after the publication of a Daily Beast expos about the news outlet, which has seen incredible traffic numbers coupled with what its readers perceive as a decline in the quality of content, sometimes with little connection to tea party issues. (One recent headline: Big Strutting Peacock Picks A Fight With The Wrong Guy.)

The expos also shone light on some of their business practices, such as the fact that the Tea Party News Networks Facebook page regularly posted content from different websites, such as Fights.buzz, which shows street altercations of the type that are banned from YouTube. The sites are all owned by TPNNs owner, Todd Cefaratti, and are all for-profit, while TPNN itself is a non-profit site.

This is a problem for the staff, some of whom sent a resignation letter to brass indicating this was the final straw. Unfortunately the coalition of companies and groups you collectively run has not been operating with the honor that people should be able to respect.

Blasting the lack of transparency surrounding the revenue from the networks Facebook page and the quality of the content they were forced to produce The Tea Party is not TMZ and TPNN is not WorldStar, they declared the group then turned to condemning their management skills:

You regularly show contempt for the people who make all your financial success possible. The writes who work around the clock to produce timely and breaking content is regularly reminded that writers are cheap. The audience is regarded as unsophisticated simpletons. The activisim that built all the infrastructure is considered a pain in the ass not as an opportunity to save the country.

Its a damning letter from staffers of a site that was described by tea party hero Joe The Plumber Wurzelbacher to the Daily Beast like this:

I wont click on those damn stories. Its about the shock factor. It has nothing to do with politics. It has to do with clicks. How far are they willing to go to compromise their integrity? It makes me sick, it makes me angry. It makes me want to go kick someones ass.

Tea Party News Network Staffers Resign en Masse, Citing Despicable Practices

RICHMOND Amid fear that new technology is handing police unprecedented power, an unlikely coalition of liberals and tea party conservatives in Virginia is trying to curtail the use of drones, license plate readers and wiretapping devices.

Lawmakers have passed several bills despite fierce law enforcement opposition an unusual turn in a state where the General Assembly has historically embraced tough-on-crime measures, particularly in an election year such as this one.

Members in both parties say the curtailments of police power are necessary because technological advances have outpaced the law.

The Ben Franklin Liberty Caucus, a bipartisan group formed last year, pushed several of this years bills.

Weve got to get a handle on it, or were going to be living in a surveillance society, said Del. C. Todd Gilbert (R-Shenandoah).

Its a weird alliance, acknowledged Del. Mark L. Cole (R-Spotsylvania), a conservative who sponsored legislation to limit civil asset forfeiture in the state. The American Civil Liberties Union and libertarian-minded tea party activists together lobbied lawmakers to support the bill.

This could be a really important session for protecting peoples property and rights from government overreach, said Claire Gastanaga of the Virginia ACLU. But, she added, theres plenty of room before the end of session for it all to come crashing down.

Under the measure restricting the use of license plate readers, which has been approved by both bodies of the General Assembly, police would be allowed to keep plate data for only seven days unless it is relevant to an ongoing investigation. Some departments have been holding onto and sharing such data for years.

Both chambers have also voted to shore up a law, passed last year, that requires a warrant for electronic searches and bans tracking devices, such as Stingrays, that mimic cellphone towers and trick cellphones into transmitting their location and other identifying information.

And after years of attempts and despite police desire for free rein, lawmakers are negotiating a regulatory framework for the use of drones, versions of which have passed both chambers.
