"Maybe they've seen the light" famous last words of Deanies in 2004

Famous last words of Dean supporters on why MSM loved them so much - up to beginning of December 2004.
Obama supportrs answered similarly this year

Some recent history might shed some light on what' going on now:
In 2004, they first zoomed on Dean - who for a few months enjoyed a tiny fraction of the Obama lovefest going on now. "maybe they've seen the light" Deanies said when asked "how come? MSM loves you so much?
But by mid Decemmer, In Al Franken's living room already met to crown something else (it was a coronation - not a trial - because - think - who got so many of them in there and why? And why wouldn't us the voters be the judges of Kerry? And the other candidates? Did they all visit Clark too? dean? Edwards? DK? Sharpton? Mosley Brown? How come these people didn't have a "trial"?
http://www.truthout.org/docs_03/121003A.shtml
Look who they were:

Al Franken and his wife Franni;
Rick Hertzberg, senior editor for the New Yorker;
David Remnick, editor for the New Yorker;
Jim Kelly, managing editor for Time Magazine;
Howard Fineman, chief political correspondent for Newsweek;
Jeff Greenfield, senior correspondent and analyst for CNN;
Frank Rich, columnist for the New York Times;
Eric Alterman, author and columnist for MSNBC and the Nation;
Art Spiegelman, Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist/author of �Maus�;
Richard Cohen, columnist for the Washington Post;
Fred Kaplan, columnist for Slate;
Jacob Weisberg, editor of Slate and author;
Jonathan Alter, senior editor and columnist for Newsweek;
Philip Gourevitch, columnist for the New Yorker;
Calvin Trillin, freelance writer and author;
Edward Jay Epstein, investigative reporter and author;
Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., who needs no introduction.

And once they designated Kerry - before any voter got to weigh in, negative coverage of Dean started: his Vermont records, the Canadian comments on Bush, spat with press on MLK Day - culminating with the scream. With Kerry getting only good press. Until of course the nomination was secured. Right after Super Tuesday, they turned on him viciously
Just refreshing memories for those who thought "maybe they've seen the light" this time, on Obama
When MSM interferes in Dem primaries, it's NOT because they like any of our candidates. It's not that they want their chosen to actually win the election. They don't want us to chose our strongest. They are picking the designated loser. To theirs.
