Of course the main problem is, it isn't very accurate.   For example, he points to the "usual suspects" being FreedomWorks.   Which is hilliarous given I wager most people have never heard of FreedomWorks.     Another problem is claiming it's run by billionaires, when most of the people in the organization, are not billionaires.      Further he claims it isn't grass roots, when in fact it is very grass roots.    Having both known people who went to some of the tea parties, and having seen footage from other tea parties, they are clearly grass roots events.   These are quite simply average people, who are pissed off at the gross misconduct of our government, and want their voice heard.

Now if you really want to talk about fake:

Krugman routinely morphs his economic theory, into whatever political stance he takes, and ultimately is amazingly partisan.    Anyone who takes his views on politics, as being anything more than a political hack, is greatly over estimating him.
