EDWARDS SUPPORTERS - EASY WAY TO GET SOME PRESS!!!
Edited on Fri Jan-18-08 07:08 PM by polichick
Dan Abrams has a segment on his show called BEAT THE PRESS, when he talks about mistakes made on the air. There's a box on his site for viewers to send things in.


Here's what I just typed in that box:

Wolf Blitzer's Situation Room tonight (1-18) ~ literally seconds after a panel discussed the media coverage of John Edwards, CNN left Edwards' name off a list of candidates that were rated about looking presidential. Nobody on the panel even noticed. D'oh!



NO KIDDING ~ none of the nimods on the panel who had just decided that the media was fair to Edwards noticed that his name wasn't on the list, two seconds after they discussed it!


If Abrams hears from a bunch of us, he'll replay it on his segment.

7. He may like the clip of Shawn Hannity asking Frank Luntz to ask the pro-Edwards focus group
who did better -- Obama or Clinton. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWVN4DEwV3I

:rofl:

9. Edwards is everywhere in the press! I do not understand what his is complaining about
Cnn / C-span.

And Clinton gets all the negative press. What a publicity stunt.

13. CNN didn't even include him on the list of candidates mentioned in the op...
They listed three or four Republicans, Obama and Clinton.

15. Just sent off my 2 cents worth. Does the media think we don't
notice their lop-sided coverage. Of course they know, they just feel it is in their best interest to ignore anything or anyone that might make a dent in their bottom like. .
