Tough ethical call for NPR: cut to Edwards or stay with Dean?

[AP]

Lot's of confusion, but they stay with HARKIN instead of going to EDWARDS.

I checked the results and Edwards got more votes than Harkin. This is stupid. Over to CSPAN.

2. Very telling.

3. Mara Liasson should just ask Dean out on a date.

They are spending way more time on Dean than the other speeches.

4. kizzack -- 'cause I'm still stunned that this happened.

I can't bring myself to turn on NPR this morning. But I think I will now.

5. I keep explaining this... it is my donations that give them their pro-Dean

bias.

Money buys bias. It is a simple formula.

6. Are you GlaxoSmithKlineBeecham or ArcherDanielsMidland?

7. CNN was covering Edwards, then they put up an inset showing

the Dean crowd, then switched completely to Dean once he came out on the stage, giving everyone an opportunity to see Dean's bizarre speech. Later, former Senator Alan Simpson commented that Dean "looked like a prairie dog on speed." Ouch. I don't like Dean but I was embarrassed for him.

Dean should not have started speaking while Edwards was live -- major screw-up. Dean campaign looked rude, so did those who switched from Edwards (33%) to Dean (18%.) Dean's campaign screwed up earlier yesterday letting media get out of hand at the MLK event.
