This "snub" incident should serve, yet again, as a valuable lesson to Democrats
the MSM will latch onto, invent, and blow out of proportion ANY issue -- no matter how minuscule -- in order to sell their point of view.

4. It's the tabloid journalism thing.
They cover politicians like celebrities - who's in, who's out, who's fighting, who has a human-interest story. Issues are boring. Gossip sells advertising.

5. Team Obama needs to pick a meme and stick to it
Either this is a vile invention of the corporatist MSM, as you suggest, or it is an over-hyped non-event that the MSM has completely bypassed, i.e.

8. Team Obama doesn't need memes. We have ideas.
You know, those things that pop off in your head when you aren't in an orgasmic frenzy looking at a picture that you BELIEVE looks like Hillary getting snubbed.

12. Duck! Dodge! Hide!
C'mon, give it a go;

is Snub-gate a product of corporatist MSM elite, or is it a non-event rightly ignored by the MSM. Can't have it both ways.

7. NOT "blow out of proportion" - they will MAKE SHIT UP.
I'm not sure what campaigns are supposed to do, except have a massive PR staff analyzing every clip for potential M$M lies.

Really, Americans need to wise the f--- up or we deserve another president as bad as dubya.

11. Nominated
This is what the media turns to when there is so little ideological difference between the top two frontrunners. They have to resort to concocting stories to create tension where there is none.

17. Not to sell their point of view...but to stir up controversy...
...I can't believe they're selling a certain pro-Clinton point of view just now. Controversy sells newspapers.

19. I haven't heard HC say it was a snub yet.
I truly hate the MSM. Even when they try to make Obama or Edwards look bad. They are all setting up for the Republicans. But after listening to the Republican candidates I think Dennis should have stayed in the race. I think he could be them.

20. Thank you. Both sides should recognize it is a non-issue, and turn both barrels on the media.
