Elizabeth Edwards To The Media: Do Your Job


What Elizabeth Edwards says here is hardly news to CCN readers, but it's good that she has taken this moment in time to make the point again. If anything, I think she is being too gentle and perhaps not addressing certain other biases, but I'm sure that, in making her points, she wants to maintain as neutral a stance as possible.

The "media" can kill a campaign and doom a candidate faster than anything. On the other hand, they can elevate and increase funds for one who may not be so deserving. Out standards and priorities are wrong but I don't have a good answer.

Wish she would speak out this week, in NC for Hillary's healthcare plan. I wonder how bombarded she and John have been recently?

If the media had made an honest effort to determine which candidates' proposals would actually work to achieve what those candidates were promising, O wouldn't have made it to the Iowa caucuses; and Hillary might be facing John Edwards today instead.

Wes Clark could still secure America as a national security candidate.
