Media trying hard to keep Edwards campaign down

[Fading Captain]

Yesterday, on NPR, they kept calling Edwards the "Angry Man," and Obama the "Hopeful Candidate."

Today's Washington Post blog says

* The Democratic race is almost certain to become a two-person contest in New Hampshire. John Edwards' campaign pushed hard last night -- and into this morning -- to cast his second place finish as a "victory for change," but the reality is that this campaign was always going to come down to Hillary Clinton and an anti-Clinton candidate. Obama is now clearly that candidate and unless he slips in the next four days, it's hard to see Edwards remaining viable beyond New Hampshire."


The media is trying hard to play kingmaker.

It's sickening.

1. question?

why are they wrong? If you want to change the message then provide one... don't just complain about it.

5. ???

I'll do whatever the heck I want, smirky.

The corporate media is going after the only realistic anti-corporate candidate.

And NPR (heavy corporate funding) calling him "the Angry Man," is a way to hurt him.

He's not angry. He's calling attention to the fight.

THat's hope! That's the real hope.

Not the asinine "national unity" being peddled by some of these jokers.

with out the republicans switching parties.

3. Protecting their asses

Edwards has been quite open about taking some of their power and influence away. They're not gonna sit back and let him.
