Okay folks , it is time to flood the MSM with emails demanding they cover Edwards SIEU Endorsements!

[saracat]

If the lack of even a mention of Edwards 10 Endorsements yesterday on televison news doesn't "prove' news suppression and biased, I am not sure what does.We may not be able to force them to report the news but we need to let them know that we are aware of their tactics. This was not a small political story. They covered the long awaited SIEU endorsements and mentioned it as a "letdown to the Edwards Campaign " when National didn't endorse but it is actually even a bigger story now that the individual SIEU's are endorsing on their own.But not a peep on the latest development? LET them know you do not support bias and the MSM designating our candidates for us.This wrong no matter who you support!

7. Thanks but no "Broadcast Media" which is the more contemporary

definition of MSM have covered it.Actually, this makes it worse because since they covered it and probably the NY Times must have at least mentioned it, that means this is a blackout.

[rinsd]

2. I don;t watch cable news but Edwards endorsements were all over the web media.

Google news returns 300+ news articles for his SEIU local chapter endorsements and 300+ for his environmental endorsement.

[saracat]

12. That is hardly major MSM. This was not given televison coverage at all.

[rinsd]

18. OK TV coverage...gotcha.

9. No one reads papers anymore! Only Broadcast media really counts.These references just "prove' a

Blackout.

[Freddie Stubbs]

16. ABC News?

http://www.abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=3732504

[saracat]

21. Really? There is NO Video because even though that is ABC there is no link to VIDEO as it was NOT fe

That is a Reuters story.ABC only coverd this on the web.

8. The Des Moines Register isn't part of the MSM?

[saracat]

10. Show me a link to television. Where did TV News pick this up?

[Freddie Stubbs]

14. ABC5 in Des Moines:

But I suppose no one is paying attention to the primary in a small state like Iowa.

[saracat]

22. Same thing NO Video. Only a web story linked to AP.

11. That's NOT The Story & THE NEWS Is THE VOCAL News... LIke You

know... CNN & MSNBC!! The ones that soooooo many talk constantly about HOW HILLARY is the one!!!

I don't even have a subscription to my local paper, much less the National ones! I think you KNOW what she's talking about, but just being facetious!

Had this been HILLARY OR OBAMA.. you can BET Wolfie & Tweety would have been "hawking" every hour on the hour!

But since it's Edwards, they seem not to notice. Just as they seem NOT TO NOTICE many other candidates. That is UNLESS it's some screw up or something!

[saracat]

13. ,It is that they are letting the impression that the SIEU let Edwards down remain without

covering the real story , that in the end, they came through.They are slanting the story.

15. If a tree falls inthe forest and no one hears it

17. The blackout by the media on Edwards' very big endorsement is shameful.

John is not my candidate, but it is pathetically notable that there does appear to be an unspoken intention in under-reporting --- by the televised news organizations --- what is a big story and and a very big endorsement victory by him.

Every Edwards supporter should do as saracat suggests: get on the phones and e-mail the hell out of them.

No Democrat that believes in fairness should condone this.

[ChiciB1]

19. I Totally Agree With You... But Still I'm Not Sure It Will Goad Them

into action!! It really sucks and it's very very evident just how IGNORANT and BIASED they become!!

Anyone want to venture a guess as to WHY???

[IA_Seth]

20. Oh geez...

I heard it on the evening news, both CNN and MSNBC last night, and my local news this morning.

A blackout I think not.

[saracat]

24. Well it certainly hasn't been prominent.I have been watching the news on both those stations all

day yesterday and today as well. Not a peep. I just watched all the political coverage on MSNBC. Nothing.

[MissDeeds]

23. It's really quite simple

If they would cover Edward's endorsement, it may detract from the nominee they have already selected for us. The MSM has decided who will win and all other candidates be damned.

[ChiciB1]

25. Gosh, You Noticed Too??? n/t

[Nutmegger]

26. Giving this some DU R&K love!

:thumbsup::loveya::kick:

[saracat]

28. Nope.That is "about' the NYTimes lack of coverage in a post on Talking Points Memo.
