The media has gotten their marching orders
It's just Hillary Hillary Hillary. They couldn't possibly have all come up with these comments unless it was coordinated.

1. There is no way this isn't media-ordered. Kucinich HAD to stay out. Orders to Crown Hillary.

2. I agree; it would seem she was the only one present at the debate.
MSNBC pundits have said nothing good about either Obama or Edwards. Apparently they were her wingmen. x(

5. Right. Just like they were trumpeting Obama just two weeks ago.
Apparently, whoever is giving them their marching orders can't get their objective straight.

7. The difference was that Obama actually won something...
No one in their right mind can say that Hillary won this debate tonight.

33. I have worked with people like you folks that think everything and
everyone has an ulterior motive. Except when it helps your side. Man, I hated to get up and go to work.

11. People really do need to wake the f*ck up and smell the coffee!
DO NOT LET MONEY AND THE MEDIA ELECT ANOTHER PRESIDENT, AMERICA!

Who is the media most afraid of?

Who is the corporate elite most fearful of?

John Edwards. He's the man with the plan. He tells the truth. And that is why he should be our next President.

40. Nice to see you have so little concern for your fellow American worker.
You probably should vote for a Republican, since you obviously have so little concern for them. All those jobs at the mill that were lost impacted families. Many were likely devastated by it.

And what does Barack offer that's different? Hope for real change. BLAH. Yeah, hope he does what he says he wants to do. But with all that big corporate cash in his campaign kitty, who is going to have his ear? The American people. Yeah, there's some real HOPE there. :eyes:

Hillary never met a lobbyist she didn't like.

You are a good example of how pathetic Americans have become, complacent, selfish Americans. We should be glad that our ancestors were more willing to sacrifice for the betterment of mankind than we are today, or America wouldn't exist!

20. No, it was before that - part of what led to his victory.
I think they really want a horse race so that our candidates will tear each other apart, and be weakened in the GE.

21. I think she won also but,
if they all praise her and leave the others out, they may be able to sew discord again and get the conversation back off the issues.

23. I'm watching CNN
and they are more even-handed about the whole thing. They are even talking about Edwards.

It's just Tweety, trying to make up for his assholism.

I am sick and tired of pundits trying to choose our winners and losers for us.

30. It's Anderson 360
But at least they were talking about it. They keep going back and forth between Michigan and a bunch of other news. Since they didn't have the debate, there isn't really much analysis. But what I heard was a lot more balanced than Tweety's psychotic self-serving ramblings.

29. Welcome to the nightmare
of us Edwards supporters who have to live through a corporate blackout of coverage.

I'm with Obama supporters tonight, because I hope you see Edwards is right about Corporatism and that the MSM, is a willing accomplice.

Hillary Shillery. YUCK!

43. It's true.
The corporate media have clearly made their choice. They have selected a race between Hillary and McBush. The status quo candidates won't seriously threaten the desires of the millionaires and billlionaires.

I won't vote for any fool that ignorantly and/or arrogantly helped to create the Iraq disaster. Maybe some worthy congressional candidates will be on the ballot...
