Tell us what to think

Thank goodness, the press corps' narrative of the three major Democratic candidates has been written. All done!

The role of the press

You'd think the campaign press would have learned a wee bit something from 2000 and 2004 -- that by playing favorites, they have, how shall we say, participated in the complete fuck up that is the Bush administration.

Apparently not.

There is a difference in the political reality: fairly or unfairly, a healthy chunk of the national political press corps doesn't like John Edwards.

Fairly or unfairly, there's also a difference in narrative timing: when the first quarter ended, the press was trying to bury Edwards. It's not so much interested in burying Romney right now -- many reporters think he's the Republican frontrunner.

Jaysus. Ambinder, writing in The Atlantic, and a former editor of ABC's The Note, sees this as a political reality, not a professional and ethical problem.

Citizens, we're fucked.
