AP: "Lieberman race" instead of CT Race? ABC: Lieberman only this AM?

[jackstraw45]

Corporate media is doing ALL they can to avoid using the name NED LAMONT today.

This morning, on GMA, they had George Stephanopoulos do a report on the CT primary and he focused 100% on Lieberman and didn't even say the word LAMONT.

Now, the AP has this headline: "Lieberman race tops primaries"

WHAT? The CT Primary Race has been renamed the Lieberman race?!?!?

Is Lamont getting ANY MSM name mentions today (not talking cable news)?

1. Connecticutt has been renamed the State of Lieberman

So now, we will be hearing about the Senator from Lieberman, the governor of Lieberman, the Lieberman Legislature, and so on. :hi:

And anyone who dares say otherwise hates America!
