2. Why should I provide context when they don't.
Trust me. I am practicing their brand of Journamalism.

4. No one is more suspicious of the MSM than me, but I like to know what I'm tearing my hair out over.
Pretty please?

Linky? Hint?

Date, headline--anything?

11. Here's proof positive you are right.
According to many highly-placed journalists, The Washington Post is a lying, biased piece of shit.

Case settled, Washington Post style.

5. I googled "John Edwards" and "Washington Post". This is the most recent article.
I suspect the OP means this:

7. Ah. Maybe I'm not familiar with the poster, but yeah, I can see
that that might do it.

Shades of O'Donnell's piece on Huffington yesterday.

Thanks, but you shouldn't have had to do the work.

:hi:

9. If this is it, OP is right. All talk about money, politics, strategy. Nothing about
where the American people fit in or the purpose of the fight.

10. And so similar to O'Donnell's hit piece on HuffPo yesterday.
My radar goes up when the MSM starts putting forth the same talking points at virtually the same time.

It's a calculated smear and I call 'em out even when it isn't my favorite candidate (which in this case, it is my favorite).

Damn them all to hell.

3. All newspapers have their flaws. On balance, I like the WP and the NYT.
But then again, I think that NPR isn't a mouthpiece for the RNC. So, what do I know?

13. Did you momentarily forget that our media companies are corporations? They're SCARED of Edwards!
They're want him to drop out if only to shut him up from telling the truth about how corporations have raped this country and nearly killed it.

14. My delightful letter to the Washington Post
Here it is:

Dear Editor:

Above all things, media companies are corporations. No one is amazed that John Edwards is banned from media articles except those asking that he step down.

Corporations have the most to lose with an Edwards presidency, and yet it's corporations that have raped this nation and nearly killed it, enriching themselves on the backs of the American poor and the American middle class.

I'll ask you to show a little decency and stop the bullshit, but I doubt you will. Your organization is also a corporation and corporations don't want the bloodsucking party to stop.

Sincerely,

Sarita
