Governor Rick Perry's not on the invitation list of those organizing an America's Tea Party rally at Southfork Ranch near Dallas on Saturday.

The organizers hope to draw 50,000 people to the venue. Perry fired up an April anti-tax "tea party" in Austin with his denunciation of the federal government and his call for state rights.

Dallas Tea Party organizers say they've accepted no support from any political party and won't allow any elected official or anyone running for office to speak.

Look deep in my eyes. Do you see anybody in there that cares whether Perry was invited or not?

KBTX needs to look at their journalistic bias in this article. They title the article in a way that makes it seem like Perry is being shunned by this tea party, when that is not how it is. Even if they clarify it at the last possible moment, most people who see the article will never read that far and come away with a misconception of the truth. Isn't that the opposite of journalistic integrity?
