MSNBC Kuciniches Edwards
After successfully blocking Dennis Kucinich from participating in the Nevada debates tonight, thereby silencing his voice & his ideas for turning the country around, MSNBC proves who is BOSS.

They went to extraordinary efforts to make sure Kucinich was not included in this debate, despite the fact they had originally sent him an invitation to participate.

This should really not surprise many of us. MSM has been marginalizing Kucinich from the beginning by subliminally excluding him in newscasts, then eventually going to court today to exclude him.

Tonight after the debate,they immediately began giving Edwards the same cold shoulder that they showed Dennis Kucinich in the beginning.

Immediately after the debate, while cameras were zeroed in on Hillary & Obama signing autographs for quite a long time, there waere no shots of Edwards, AT ALL! John might as just as well have fallen off the planet.

"Out of sight, out of mind."

Remember, we only have 2 Democratic candidates. Please don't try to muss things by insisting on more inclusion.:sarcasm:

1. And then Feinman said he won the debate.
Was Edwards on the stage?

3. How would any of us know? He could have been on the other end or
out in the crowd. The fact that they made no attempt to show him, or even mention whether he was still there, or not, proves they are trying to shut him out, too.:mad:

5. You acknowledge that you don't know that.
He could have gone to the bathroom. They did acknowledge him after the debate.

15. Who overheard the conversation?
Was it recorded? Or do we take someone's word for it that those were their words?

18. It was recorded over an open mic next to them. Denial is strong, I see.

20. I didn't hear anything but some weird music.
That was a FOX broadcast that had the subtitles. Who heard it? I wonder and why didn't they play the conversation on that video if it was recorded?

21. I'm not saying it didn't happen that way.
But I've never seen it before and can't hear the conversation.

26. I don't find anything wrong with this clip at all.
I just find it ironic, given the great outcry at Edwards' victimization at the hands of the latest narrowing.

28. Always a bad move to sharpen the guillotine knife used on someone else--
--when its next destination is your own neck.

8. Unless I imagined it, they showed Edwards signing for someone, too
Granted, Hillary and Obama got most of the attention, but what's MSNBC supposed to do....show Edwards if he's not signing an autograph for someone? The time they did show him he was most definitely signing an autograph unless there's someone else who looks exactly like him.

9. Shut up and vote for who we tell you to! You silly, little people
with all your "hopes" and "dreams" and your pitiful little "families" and meaningless little "lives" - it is really becoming quite a bore! Look, American Idol is on! Really, what more could you possibly want?

that Kucinich wasn't allowed to participate.

11. You can blame the Two Party mentality
Political races are ALWAYS between Candidate A and Candidate B. There is no possible room for a Candidate C; the very idea is heretical to American political thought.

13. I was going to ask about that
whether there were not fans of Edwards to congratulate him and to seek his autograph, since only Clinton and Obama were shown, for a long time.

16. Statistically speaking, this is a tight 3-way race in Nevada. Therefore,
it would make sense that Edwards would have at least some supporters there.
If he had to leave quickly for some other reason, it would seem MSNBC would make some sort of comment on the fact that he wasn't there while BO & HRC were soaking up the camera. They've commented on every move the top 3 have made in the last 6 months. Why stop now?

But nothing from MSNBC....they want us to forget about him.

31. tit for tat
Edwards did not respect the rights of others. Now it is his turn to be included in the press sheat list.
