The corporate media blackout of John Edwards gets worse
Must read! From a diary on the JE Blog site.

"It has been clear for some time now that the corporate media is actively excluding John Edwards from its coverage of the 2008 race.

After Iowa, there was every reason for the corporate media to have started including John Edwards in its narrative.

1. Edwards was just on CNN Candidate Cafe
He looked awfully handsome, it was a good exchange. Maybe they will replay later this evening?

2. Oh shoot! I missed it.
Maybe they'll re-air it. Or maybe I can see it on the web site.

I have noticed that I've seen a lot more of him on TV today. But in the so-called discussion by the talking heads, he is still barely mentioned.

Gawd we really need to get this guy more money so he can buy up a lot of ad time on TV for the next primaries. I'm giving as much as I can out of each paycheck.

3. Is it just me, or....?
I look at HuffPo often. Looking at it just now, it's as starkly ignorant of John Edwards as any of the MSM are! WTF??????????
