Do you think this was intentional? And, who was behind it?

Neilson Media Corporation. The ratings people are behind everything. Not with a purpose or agenda. Just once you get your dailys back from the first run of the Dean Scream and you see a bump, you run it again and again. It's a cycle. So to some extent Neilson, to a larger extent the people. No conspiracy.

I completely agree that the media overplayed it waaay to much. If they hadn't overplayed it so much, Dean would probably still be in the race. Conservative talk show hosts really screwed Dean over by playing it repetitively on their radio shows. It was shown on ALL mainstream media news stations practically everyday for the next week after Dean gave that concetion speech. I feel pity for Dean for him being screwed by the media (left and right) but, I never really like him anyways so I don't really care that he's out. I also heard on the radio (not his screach) that the microphone he was using was supposed to only capture his voice and not the audience, so that made it even worse.
