Thom Hartman Did Not Cover The Entire Edwards....

...Leaving the race message. Instead he went to a commercial break in which there were 8 adds ran including one for Purina Cat food.

I know that he is bound to slot times but I think the fact they had a 3 hour window of this announcement they could have modified their scheduled breaks to accommodate covering the entire message....

Makes me wonder who supports who....Sad to seen commercial $$$$ rule over covering the news.

5. Purina cat food sucks.

Edited on Wed Jan-30-08 02:01 PM by FlyingSquirrel

I used to think it was good too. Then I was shown the error of my ways. Even PurinaOne is full of fillers and things.

You want some good cat food that isn't too expensive, try "Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul."

Won't find it in the supermarket and might not even find it at PetCo (but you might). I go to a small pet store to get it.

Felidae is good too.

3. Nah .. there's another explanation.

I'm a good judge of character, if I do say so myself (retired social worker), and Thom Hartmann is NOT a sellout. He may need time to prepare what he is going to say.

8. And he's been supporting Edwards up until now.

Said he was the only one he had sent money to.

9. Thom runs a tight ship.

One thing I have noticed is that things run pretty much on time on Air America.

Broadcasts are always interupted no matter how important the guest for commercials. Always.

4. well considering the press conference was 30 minutes late

And he was in the middle of an interview with a Senator...

And he has consistantly donated to Edwards...

I wonder why you posted this???

6. Oh, yes, I watched the speech on MSRNC.

Edited on Wed Jan-30-08 02:03 PM by Maat

I'm SO sad.

Now, only the corporate-butt-kissing two are left in the race (the "reach across the aisle"-ers - reaching across to the MONSTERS that pissed upon my beloved Constitution and Bill of Rights. Disgusting.

I'm hoping that the Obama camp will show me some populist leanings in the next few months.

I have no interest in voting for the candidate who looked positively gleeful in one debate at the thought of dropping bombs on civilians ("going after terrorists") - the candidate who refused to vote "yes" on the Cluster Bomb Amendment.

I feel as if I'm now officially disenfranchised.
