1. This happens in every debate. Clobama get the most time with JE and Richardson being in the 2nd tier

Based on this and its coverage it is very obvious the corporate media wants a two-way race between the two corporate favorites (the CMSM is not producing daily infomercials for Clobama for fun...). It is not so much that Richardson gets disproportionate time as it is that the media gives Edwards less than his poll position warrants. Thanks for posting this.

2. edwards has to many sensable anwers to the questions
and it`s boring for the media to cover. the "debates" are a cheap carny magic side show that dazzles the rubes.

4. I agree with you, but...
John Edwards is not even in this race (yet). The candidates should get close fairly equal time. That seems obvious to me.
