Just launched today, the Tea Party News Brief bills itself as the nation's first non-partisan news service for the Tea Party movement. We're not sure what that means yet, exactly, but we've got a call in to boss Dr. Jessica Davis, senior policy analyst and voice of Ava the avatar. Dr. Davis is also a theologian and a former mayoral presidential candidate.
Some portion of the Tea Party News Brief's business plan lives here. And hey, they've opened an office in Iowa. Just saying.
UPDATE: Dr. Davis called back. She describes herself as conservative, and says that aspect of the Tea Party movement is attractive to her. As for the non-partisan thing, she says, "I believe this movement has been characterized as a Republican, conservative movement, and based on the core issues, it's bigger than that. Our goal is to educate the citizenry around the core issues, from both sides."
Dr. Davis says she'll be posting videos weekly, usually on Thursday or Friday.
