definitely disinterested in covering potential presidents addressing concerns of the Americans who are too poor to buy the products of the huge corporations advertising on said networks.
They'll cover Mitt Romney at Disney World a lot more readily and at much greater length than John Edwards in the 9th ward of New Orleans.
Edwards is insisting that poverty be discussed. It's going to be interesting to watch the tense interplay between his campaign and the media this fall.
It's real clear that there are different agendas out there.
