Edwards MIA from media coverage

[sjdnb]

Front pages of some of the larger political websites I visited today (front pages) - and, becoming increasingly common experience (unless you count his daughter's fender bender as coverage). NBC may be doing Kucinich a favor by excluding him from the debate (although, I think they are 100% wrong and I hope that is overturned) - but, at least he's gettings some press! His debate story was on every site.

4. Thank You

That's really handy -- I've been to FAIR lots but never noticed (or remembered) this - could have saved a lot of time.

2. My letter to CNN

Here you go:

Dear CNN Editors:
Here's a novel idea for a story... Where's Edwards? Is CNN hiding him? Does CNN want to limit the Dem candidates to two? Is that why CNN refuses to focus on him, as if he were not a candidate?

8. Ya damn right they do. Everyone should be screaming about it.

7. Chris Matthews covered all Repub candidates then only 2 Dem

You'll never guess who didn't get mentioned, although they flashed up the poll showing Edwards neck & neck.

9. Hoping for a big fundraising result this Fri. Jan. 18, to make headlines

How do we generate media coverage for the 'Invisible' John Edwards?


"...Edwards could engage in a high speed police chase with Britney's kids on his lap and a missing white girl in the trunk, or he could raise $7 million dollars in one day."(dkos)
