Exhibit A: The front page of the online Washington Post

Headlines:

In Iowa, Obama Wins, Clinton Concedes
Sen. Barack Obama's victory is an affirmation of his message of change and a stinging setback to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Coventional Wisdom Defied
Despite long stretch trailing Clinton, Obama and inner circle stayed with message of change.
Paul Kane and Jonathan Weisman


Acknowleging Change in the Air
For Hillary Rodham Clinton, the presumed front-runner, Iowa was always the big risk.
Jonathan Weisman and Paul Kane
Clinton Camp Looks to New Hampshire


And then, in eensy beensy little letters in the lower column, the only hint of Edwards and it's this

In NH, Edwards Supporters' SpiritFlag
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/
A pissy little blog story about "dispirited" workers in NH being disappointed in the results


When I bitch about media bias it's because of BS like this. Not to take anything away from Obama, but 2, yes TWO people outpolled Hillary Clinton last night. You have to look with a neutron microscope before you would find out who ALSO upset Clinton and is positioned for a great run in NH.

I am mad as hell and I wish to out these charleton piss-ant so-called "journalists" who don't have the decency to "report" the facts.They must really, really be afraid of him and his message.

John Edwards will win IN SPITE of these shills for the staus quo!

1. This is why an Edwards win was so important last night
We know the MSM is going to fight him tooth or nail, but I'll jump on the hope train with you Phoebe. ON TO NH TO WIN!!!! No one will be able to ignore him then.

2. Don't Count On That Firewall In New Hampshire Now
The Independents will play a very big role in the Democratic Primary in New Hamsphire now. Obama's victory will give him a big surge going into that state and the Independents who weren't sure which primary to jump into will hop to support Obama rather than go for a Ron Paul or even a Hucklenuts in the GOOP primary. If anything, Obama's impressive showing in Iowa last night is making him the "anit-Hillary"...the one who will deny her of the nomination and this will work more in his favor than in John Edwards.

While I admire Senator Edwards, he's the thrid match in this game and not by ihs choosing. The corporate media long ago decided this was a race between Hillary and Obama and Edwards was all but invisible as far as real coverage. Whatever stories you did see were negative or dismissive. I wish it weren't true, but I see him now finishing a distant third in New Hampshire and will need to win in South Carolina to survive...that's a tough order.

4. The fact that the MSM is ignoring him shows that he's the real deal. They're scared shitless.
If you're a media darling, you're bound to be someone the corporate interests just love.
