The Tea Party Review was a short-lived, monthly, glossy magazine first published in February 2011 by the Tea Party movement. [1] [2] The magazine was published on a monthly basis. [2]
The announced mission of the publication was to "provide balance to the conversation" by challenging the "Obamaites" who "try to punish media organizations for doing their jobs.". [3] According to Jamelle Bouie, writing in The American Prospect, the magazine planned to correct accusation s that the Tea Party was racist and sexist, but failed to do so because it followed a familiar pattern under which, according to Bouie, "when conservatives need to show their diversity, they trot out the craziest brown people they can find." [3]
The publisher was William Owens and the editor was Steve Allen. [4] [1]
