Edwards isn't even mentioned in a poll about preferential media treatment, lol. He is below 2% for sure.

1. Well, that pretty much says it all!

Just saw David Bonior talking about the uneven coverage on MSNBC.

2. If we learn NOTHING from this campaign, can we wise up to

how Edwards is being disappeared?

I swear, the Republic media chooses our candidates. So disgusting.

I was disgusted a year ago when Hillary was anointed. Not because of who she is but because I hate being pushed around. Still disgusted.

The more Edwards is marginalized or outright evaporated, the less I'm willing to do. Period.

3. The more he's marginalized and ignored, the MORE I'm determined to do.

14. What?

How does ignoring Edwards and putting Obama and Clinton in a spotlight have anything to do with that?

[goldcanyonaz]

8. The MSM wouldn't want to appear racist, would they? Kid Gloves have been worn for Obama.

[sandnsea]

9. Because he has a positive message and no negatives

While Hillary is out trashing everybody in sight. Yeah. That could be it.

10. In other news, most Americans believe the pope is Catholic n/t

11. Golly, I'm shocked. Why would the media be so lopsided?

[Dogmudgeon]

12. Doesn't anyone do content analysis anymore?

Getting a number of observers with diverse opinions to count instances of bias would go a long way toward giving us an accurate idea of the situation. We might, for example, find differentials in bias -- that people are biased against their candidates for different reasons and in different contexts.

--p!

[redqueen]

13. Well I don't think that means anything at all.

If the media's biased towards candidates, I'm sure it's for perfectly innocent reasons.

[progressoid]

15. Edwards needs to get on Letterman.

19. I do not wanna be harsh to edward supporters but I like so many

others in here honestly believe edwards has no chance. This goes back to 04 and even though I am sure many that maybe supported edwards in 04 decided this time 08 to choose between the other candidates.This far those choices are between hrc and obama.

I am not surprised by this. I have on occasion shown how cnn( situation room) has be anti clinton over a time span from October 30th 2007 through the new hampshire vote. Now here again CNN (situation room) goes negative on hrc but postive towrds obama. Well hey, one might say hrc is getting 30% favorable reporting but hey hey hell, hrc is getting 70% negative reporting. But this sample above shows the negative reporting within the entire media....oh yes as I said many, many mediawhores out there

20. Wow, no irony there n/t

[waiting for hope]

21. And his message is still getting

out there.....Go, Johnny, GO! There is power in his words.
