Media needs to be impartial and not focus on 2 people fighting like highschoolers. They need to focus and report on what the candidates say they are going to do. that in the end is who the contry will elect.

With the majority of the electorate getting their information from television, we cannot afford to not be informed about all of the candidates. John beat Clinton in Iowa, so why is she getting more press coverage? John is truly capable of winning the Presidency if he is given equal opportunity like he should. Isn't that what we are all about in America?

I see the media can't count above 2. They completely shut John Edwards out and closed the barn doors on him. This is injustice to the American people and far from fair and balanced.

stop being biased with your poilitcal coverage. You give NO air time at all to John Edwards and he is still a close contender. We don't need your opiniuons, just report the facts and fair coverage.

There are those among us, in this country, who no longer rely on TV or radio or newspapers. I am one of those, having been a reporter told to spin to sell, Dumb Down to a 3rd grade level, dig dirt to unseat politicians [deemed a threat to the editor's agenda]... etc.Remembering that turns me off, as does skewed journalism. So I turn my TV/radio off, read zero newspapers including a local weekly. I see it as a principled boycott, in support of all humanity.I've made an exception, however, to see 2008's campaign. Candidates in debates, TV interviews, campaign ads give me a view of demeanor, body language, authenticity. Persona reveals more to me than what is said so I weigh all I see with all I hear from a candidate.When mainstream media ignores any candidate I ask why, assuming that media source may have an unspoken agenda or is leaning toward a bias. It seems unAmerican to call The Game before all clearly viable candidates are seen and heard in a fair way so voters might evaluate before voting.This lively campaign is far from over, is not a Done Deal and focusing on gliltz is stinky to poor journalism, at best. The favoritism being shown smacks of censorship. I, for one, find it appalling for mass media moguls to disenfranchise voters by impedes our rights to evaluate all candidates.Only with fair, unbiased reporting will we have a chance to review issues and make wise choices. When the media puts a higher priority on glitz than on substance that speaks to their agenda, it being $ell-$ell-$ell and let the chips fall as they may. Voters rely on the media and voters aren't pawns to be cast aside just to play The Game of Politics As Usual. We expect better and yes, we also deserve better.

Freedom of the press does not mean, nor did it ever, that the media is free to manipulate the citizen's of the USA by limited their choices. Get back to reporting the new in full in an unbiased manner.

Your lack of coverage of John Edwards is a disgrace to the American public. It also shows your lack to exhibit journalistic integrity.

We are deeply disturbed by the lack of quality coverage of this primary, especially the lack of coverage of issues and all the candidates, and the apparent blackout of candidates, even when they are viable and do well, e.g. John Edwards.

By controlling the information that is reported and not reporting it as fact but adding interpretation, the media is attempting to control what people think.

You cheat your readers and viewers when you do not report all the options available to them in the Democratic primaries
