What do ya know...! The weasly rat-man actually has a case here, especially by pointing out ABC's obvious conflict of interest.
Hope he and others brought and will bring up the legal/ethical responsibilities of broadcasters granted a public license for the limited band frequencies to serve some reasonable standard of public purpose in their broadcasting, the most minimal of which is 'don't black-out the candidates for public office', and skew our sad little electoral process.
Corporatism is degenerate.
Kookcinich is right on this one. Hate to say it. He and Paul ought to team up. The MSM should have no role in who appears in the debates. None at all.
The GOP should run our own debates with fair ground rules and ALLOW selected media to cover it. The media makes the debates and the rules. The RNC has been really weak since Mehlman left maybe I am just off the mailing lists as an unenrolled.
Dennis, you lost to Undecided, nobody who loses to Undecided is a real candidate, fake candidates shouldn’t be in the debate. Call it quits and go home to that wife of yours.
Those who actually say this lawsuit is right......
Think about this. Keyes was excluded as well, as well as everybody else running for president.
Do you know how many people run for president every four years? HUNDREDS......MAYBE EVEN THOUSANDS.
If you are going to say it is unfair to have a standard to exclude some candidates, the all 1000 candidates need to be included in every single debate until the primaries are over.
And then, every single person running as an independent needs to still be included as well.
The debates would last a week, but who cares.....at least it is fair!!
Come on. Duncan has LESS than a chance. He will NEVER take fire; it is NOT going to happen, period. He has virtually nothing that leads him to be presidential material despite how nice a guy he is.
Fox was being silly to exclude Paul while allowing Giuliani, but at the same time, ABC was EXACTLY correct here to exclude the two biggest losers of the campaign so far. A surprising rise in popularity can only go so far.
Kucinich is 100% right here. He, Duncan Hunter, Mike Gravel and Ron Paul are legitimate candidates who appear on ballots in primaries across the country. They have every right to make their positions known.
The media has no right to play kingmaker in an election
