2. Yes very
Isn't what our press doing illegal, the lies, the obfuscation, the truth nowhere to be found. Isn't there laws they are supposed to follow for the privelege of using our airwaves?

3. This is getting soooo fucking tiring
First the Kucinich fruitbats scream conspiracy, and now Edwards supporters are too?

The two are the clear front-runners, and as much as I like Edwards, he is not going to win a single state. Anywhere. It is kind of natural to focus on the leading candidates the further we get into this process, and the fading ones less so.

wtf over. the election is months away. In the past the process was only beginning about now.

6. Maybe you shouldn't
if this is what you think colors people's votes. This isn't the past, it is the present. The process has been going on for many, many months now and Edwards has long been as visible as the other candidates. You act like there's been some sort of constant blackout which results in low polls numbers and disappointing primary/caucus finishes. That is, to be blunt, a crock.

Add: How about I post where I please, and you can't do piss all about it?

10. Forget the Clinton-Obama media focus BEFORE primaries started...
Edited on Tue Jan-22-08 10:44 AM by timeforarevolution
the simple fact that Edwards came in second in Iowa and his name STILL wasn't mentioned - and there are threads showing media coverage of all three candidates, proving that his name was literally not mentioned at all - shows there is media bias.

If people WOULD INDEED focus on what is going on in the NOW, rather than forecasting the future as the media did as soon as the first woman and first African-American announced their candidacies, our present landscape might be much different.

The vast majority of people get their information from MSM. They don't go online to research nor get to see candidates in person. Unfortunately, if they're told there are only two people running and the rest are a mere distraction, they tend to accept it, assuming that the people telling them this are more politically astute than they could ever hope to be.

What people need to remember is that many of these politically astute people have an agenda.

Reporters need to report. Period.


edit for clarity

This is simply bullshit, and I have little time or patience for liars.

7. Yes because it clearly isn't that the corporate owned news is blatantly
ignoring candidates who speak ill of their owners, right?

It's just the imagination of Kucinich and Edwards fruitbats :eyes:

Nice try, there.

11. You're right and some just choose to not see or ignore it for whatever reasons.
Maybe it's just matter of convenience or maybe they are fruitbats?
