No sequel for Dean 'scream'

Yuck. What a poor story that tries to be a cautionary tale yet has no context.

Dean was shouting over the cheers of his enthusiastic audience, but the crowd noise was being filtered out by his unidirectional microphone, which picked up only his voice. "The primal yell" you refer to was a result of the media playing the clip more than 600 times over a four day period.

CNN issued a public apology and admitted in a statement that they indeed may have "overplayed" the incident. The incessant replay led to questions of whether Dean was a victim of media bias.

Th

What I remember from the clip at the time is that the other people in the background did not react as it it were anything more than the usual campaign nonsense. Corinne's description adds details to the obvious media bias. Dean ran on principle and the spontaneous response from internet support rather than from a political machine which is anathema to the media. They hate amateurs. That they are still milking a non-event is, as Corinne puts it, yuk.

You forgot to mention that the "scream" was manufactured by the media - dreamed up by some tape editor in the news room. The 3000+ crowd members are not seen or heard - Dean is isolated, hence the distortion. I watched the "scream" on C-SPAN and what I saw there did not at all match what I saw splashed all over the media in the following days. Dean did nothing wrong or "crazy". The "scream" was an assassination perpetrated by the media and distributed by its wolf-pack mind-set.
