The Empty Third Chair: John Edwards

I'm surprised CNN recognized there was a third candidate for the debate tonight: JRE. That chair is empty, so is the debate.

Harry Belefonte Endorses JRE in SC Today

Harry has always stood up for those in poverty and is an ardent civil rights activist. Interesting as he was in the movie, Bobby, last year.

Oh, if you also missed JRE on CNN yesterday, here's vid clip too. Both are courtesy of NCDem Amy.

JRE on CNN's Situation Room

How crummy, CNN/ Blitzer put Edwards in the first block instead of full screen the entire time. That's not treating him like a Presidential candidate; it makes him look like a reporter. The reporters got better screen time.

Oh, geez, Edwards finally got full screen when talking about Marcotte and McEwan, but not when he talked about his ideas.

Well, at least Edwards got to say that the Net is a powerful place and that while candidates control what the bloggers say, it is a true grassroots for democracy.

I hope Media Matters studies this further to see if I have rose colored glasses on.
