Garance Franke-Rutka highlights just how much the message the media are by comparing today's AP story on Edwards' speech tonight with one about a speech two weeks ago: AP reporter Tom Raum hyped Edwards' speech tonight as "Edwards Slamming GOP in DNC Speech." His evidence? These words, among others: "In a speech to convention delegates poised to make him their vice presidential candidate, the North Carolina senator was asking Americans to 'reject the tired, old, hateful, negative politics of the past' and embrace a Democratic ticket he said was full of promise and hope." But just two weeks ago, AP writer Mike Glover wrote this story about an Edwards rally, framing the exact same words in a completely different way: "At his rally, Edwards struck that optimistic note. 'The American people are going to reject the tired old hateful negative politics of the past,' he said. 'Instead they're going to embrace the politics of hope.'"
