Online news media ignores Edwards again

[BlueStater]

Never mind that Edwards arguably had the best performance during the debate. The media chose to focus on Obama and Hillary again, even including a photo of just those two.

Shit. Could these clowns suck any worse?

1. The commercial media hate Edwards, because they're part of the corporate power structure that he

is fighting against and wants to fight against as President. It doesn't surprise me that they pretend he doesn't exist.

6. So what should we do?

I don't have any spare change to chip in to the Edwards campaign. Should I ultimately withhold my vote for Obama or Clinton because they are my only choice? (If Clinton is the nominee, I would have to review the Republican alternative for specific differences.)

4. This story does not prove your point--it was full of Edwards quotes

[ClericJohnPreston]

5. And you're a Hillary or Obamite...

[Evergreen Emerald]

7. yeah, but I can read

[Vilis Veritas]

10. Hmm...the last paragraph was great...

The words about Edwards shooting hoops with the kids and his shirttail hanging...nothing says upset like a candidate that can feel free to be at home with the PEOPLE.

Edwards has that.

Peace

13. From Daily Kos

Edwards probably had the best performance of the night. He came across as passionate, and was more energetic than the other candidates. With the debate closing on economic issues, he was able to play his populist card to great effect and dominate the closing minutes of the debate.
