Screw them! I am supporting the Invisible Man! Watching The View now and
it was Hillary and Obama and not one word about John! Same thing happened on The Today Show today.

The Corporations are getting their revenge against John's populist message and I am so angry!!!!

1. It's frustrating, isn't it, especially since done deliberately and with great bias and malice.

2. It's absolutely disgusting.
And it only moves me to donate more $$ to help him stay in this race. Once Hillary drops out, they will *have* to stop ignoring John.

3. You have every right to be angry.
It just goes to show you there's a lot of meat in John's message.

5. He's being shunned by the corporate whores of America & in the end it may not be a bad thing.
He can win in November and they're scared the rest of America will find out.

10. What was Gandhi's famous quote? "First they ignore you....
then they laugh at you, then you win." (seriously paraphrasing here)
Go Johnny, GO!!!

17. Thanks for the link. I just wrote and sent this.
Edited on Mon Jan-07-08 05:01 PM by OmmmSweetOmmm
On your show today, when New Hampshire was being discussed. not one word was mentioned about Iowa's SECOND PLACE WINNER, John Edwards! It was all Clinton and Obama on the Democratic side. Why????? Why are you deliberately leaving Mr. Edwards out. Clinton came in THIRD in Iowa and yet not even a whisper about John Edwards. I have let a great many people know about this and hope in the future you will remember that this is NOT a two person race.
I am sick of Main Stream Media attempting to SELECT the candidates that we ELECT. Shame on you!!!!

(you can still see how angry I am about this!)

13. I was just listening to Air America and they broke for the top of the hour news.
It was all about Obama and Hillary, not one word about the guy in second place. Please, go to, takebackthemedia.com and donate to Symbolman, so he can do the best he can to help get the word out about Edwards is being shunned. Every $5, $20, $50, $100, $1 will help.

18. so, it's not so great when the shoe's on the other foot, is it?
Edwards was one of the media's chosen 3. Now they toss him to the curb (not really - just a little less coverage than before) and the same people who were telling Kucinich, Gravel, Biden, etc. supporters that they had to vote for Edwards because he was the media/corporate selected candidate that could win are singing a different tune. Karma's a bitch.

23. So, it was ok to ignore candidates before the caucus? Or it's ok to ignore....
...any candidate the media chooses after just one caucus? Yeah, he placed second after being hyped by the media, and now they've stopped that hype. Get over it, or get angry about it on principal when it happens to other candidates. It is normal - it's the treatment most candidates have been getting all along.
