Once again the MSM are making me sick to my stomach

For over a year these people have basically ignored John Edwards. They could not even be bothered to mention his name--there have been small exceptions of course--however today they can't stop talking about him.

Ooooh, John Edwards is dropping out!

Ooooh, who is John Edwards going to endorse?

Ooooh, this is so sad.

Ooooh, he was all about the poor people of this country!

:argh: You freakin ass-hats!!! YOU PEOPLE OF THE MSM have done everything possible over the last year to crush his campaign! DAMN! I can't stand you people!!

To hell with all of you!!!!

9. It Will Be Okay...

I wept as well when I learned Biden had dropped out. It takes a while, but it will pass. I'm so sorry for you and the other Edwards supporters.

4. Yea but to be honest

had he won a caucus or a primary then he would have gotten a lot more coverage...he started to be a less viable candidate when he kept getting only 15% of the votes. granted, and I'll agree that the MSM DID overplay the Obama/Hillary rivalry but a lot of us who actually follow what's going on were not to be swayed by that.

11. that would be convincing if in fact he got as much media attention BEFORE

the first primary as they did, but he did NOT, according to two separates studies (see mediamatters.org for one of them).

7. Just posted this on another thread

Time's article on the CNN website on why Edwards just couldn't make it. They're saying that the pundits called it as a two-way race from the beginning, and poor, dumb JE just didn't get it.

10. Absolutely from the very beginning

Clinton and Obama were touted as Rock-stars from the get-go. It has been all fluff and no substance. It is disgusting.
