"Free Markets" President

Aside from bringing the telecommunications industry into some kind of ironclad secret partnership with the National Security Administration and the Executive Branch (plus Dick Cheney's office, if you don't consider that part of the Executive branch), President Freemarkets wants to make the special government protections for the telecoms that own the media permanent protections.

The paper forgot to mention that Edwards outperforms both Clinton and Obama in hypothetical head-to-head contests against Republican rivals.

In fact, the only mention of Edwards at all comes in pigeon-holing him at 15 percentage point backing by voters in a USA Today/Gallup poll.

Here is FAIR's reporting on the matter.
