Edwards has not been mentioned once on Russert

[senseandsensibility]

The show started thirty minutes ago on the west coast. It has been ALL Hillary and Obama, as if he doesn't even esist. Will they go another thirty minutes with no mention? They are really pushing this hard.

Edited to add that just as I posted this they started to mention him , but guess what? I know this will shock you: according to them, he doesn't have a chance.

1. Oh, Chuck Todd that twit just said

We've seen Edwards before, he finishes 1st in Iowa and comes to NH and falls flat. He needs to win or he is out. NEWS FLASH CHUCK: It's TWO goddamn states!!!

I am turning this shit off, I hate the MSM. :eyes:

3. On CNN the pundits said it is a two-person race to the finish

Clinton and Obama.

4. One thing the Blathering Heads CANNOT DO: They CANNOT VOTE FOR US.

WE still have that power, whether the BH's choose not to speak of it or any of our candidates.

5. Chuck Todd is the ultimate ASSHOLE

with a huge conflict of interest in this race. He says that Obama has to win NH or it's over. :wtf:

The pundits are trying to call the whole ball of wax after two states???

6. I just saw that, and turned it off.

7. Manufactured consent manufactured reality

At least we have each other. I swear to Christ if it wasn't for DU we would all think ourselves mad.

8. here is the truth, better sit down.

The media likes a story, Ya right, tell me something IO don't know.

- Obama winning Iowa is a big story, this wasn't suppose to happen in White America
- Hillary coming in 3rd is a big story, this wasn't suppose to happen
- Edwards doing well in Iowa is not a big story, no surprise there, Edwards was suppose to do well

The media are whores for the story, if Edwards won Iowa, he would be the story.

9. Edwards winning Iowa wouldn't be the story either

They'd explain it away saying he lived in Iowa for the past 6 years. Edwards being grossly outspend and underhyped and beating Clinton could be a compelling story. Heck, Ron Paul beating Giuliani in Iowa could be a major story. When Kucinich filed articles of impeachment against Cheney, it could have been a huge story. There's a certain type of story they always ignore. How about when Ralph Nader packed Madison Square Garden in 2000 and it got no coverage?

The media never mentions once that Obama may have been helped in Iowa by living in a neighboring state. Certainly that wasn't the only factor, but it was a factor just like Edwards being in the state for a longer period of time. The media didn't mention that Kerry was helped in NH in 2004 by being from a neighboring state. The media mentioned Dean did well in NH because he was from a neighboring state.

The media has their horses and they stick with them.

11. [i]The media never mentions once that Obama may have been helped in Iowa by living in a neighboring

Then can we expect Edwards to win SC ?

13. John Edwards beats Hillary Clinton is a story. n/t

[creeksneakers2]

10. I was for Chris Dodd

and they never talked about him. They didn't even ask him questions in the debates. I think Kucinich got more coverage. Its all unfair but nothing can be done. The media has to air information the public is interested in.

If Edwards is smart, and he isn't always, he'll go for second in New Hampshire. That would shake up the race. Best way for Edwards to do that is to keep out of sight and see if Hillary and Obama go at it. So lack of coverage isn't the worst thing in the world.

12. That says a lot.

The non-mention explains the polls, too.
