I can't watch this msm madness , not a big deal

If they intend to leave out Edwards and Kucinich then these are not fair ratings or coverage .

It is obvious that they are the only two against big business and are left out for it .

You see freaks like Rudy and Huck and McCain and Mitt but thye are not standing up against corporations nore are Hillary or Obama .

So people will allow the media to pick the candidates and pick the winner and this seems fine to many people just as long as their pick wins even if they may not be the best choice .

1. I'll Never forget This primary

and how it came to this point. My brother worked along my side for Kerry in the last election. It was his first time ever, but this time? He says he's done.... I tell him to support progressives/liberals in his area and not to give up, because then you let the establishment win. I know one thing is for sure... in this GE I will not vote for Hillary. I'll write in somebody else.

2. I refuse to watch ANY msm coverage of this farce.

I feel so helpless at the way they are treating Kucinich and Edwards, (the best two Dem candidates IMO). How long are we going to let them pick our candidates for us???? Other than scathing e-mails to the stations and working on phone-banking for Edwards, I don't know what else to do! I am so frustrated!!!

Peace:thumbsup:

4. It was this very same thing that did Dean in .

and it will be what does Kucinich and Edwards in too . This is not the media the people own as it should be and after all these years not one single candidate ever brings this up as an issue that is of great importance unless of course it does not affect them as the economy does not affect the rich , it's the same thing .

Until they come for those who did not speak up nothing changes .

3. Bull riding (on NBC) makes more sense.

6. After total air time saturation of the Nevada (and all) events, now they say it's "inconsequential"

If it is so inconsequential, why did they spend all of their resources, including their day off, to drumbeat it in advance?

7. I honestly have no idea , none of this makes sense to me at all .

I have never seen anything like this before and hope this is not what elections have now become , like some sort of push even the members on the same side out of the way for that gold crown . I does not make anyone look very good to me .

What will this do when the final two are picked ?
