Media reports 1st & 3rd among Dems - but 2nd place winner (Edwards) still getting "silent treatment" [View All]

[StefanX]

A lot of the headlines I've been seeing specifically mention the names of the 1st and 3rd place winners (Obama and Hillary) but didn't mention the 2nd place winner (Edwards).

The media destroyed Dean by replaying "the Dean Scream" over and over. Are they trying to destroy Edwards with "the silent treatment"?

Edwards came in second place, neck and neck with Hillary. And even more impressively, I believe Edwards spent about a sixth of what Hillary or Obama spent (correct me if I'm wrong).

At what point does the media finally report this is a three-way race?

At what point does the media finally report that Edwards is getting six times more bang for his buck than the other two front-runners?

Just for the record, I'd like to report that as I post this, 10 of the top 12 posts on DU's Greatest page currently do mention Edwards.

I hope this just means that, as usual, DU is way ahead of the media on this one!
