44. The corporate media marginalized Edwards and his message, yet even so
Edited on Thu Mar-27-08 02:40 PM by depakid
one has to admit that he wasn't the best messenger.

American politics is incredibly shallow- partly due to the dumbing down of the population, a large plurality of whom (on both sides) view "the contest" more like American Idol than they do a competition of substantive ideas and policies.

The bottom line is that most Americans are ripe for the plucking. The corporate media knows that- and acts accordingly.
