I think this debate should serve as a catalyst for a movement with much deeper implications that those of a republican primary. This debate should serve as a clear example of the consistent flagrant bias that is grotesquely obvious in “journalism” today. There are four people on stage tonight, but to the “moderators” there are only two, with the casual acknowledgement of Gov. Huckabee from time to time. Ron Paul and Huckabee are being cut short and ignored for the Romney and McCain show. I’m not going to resort to juvenile insults to McCain or Romney, I think they have been damaging enough to themselves, but the truth is, when Anderson Cooper gives Ron Paul ten seconds to speak as compared to the ten minute monologues of Romney and McCain alike we as the American people should say enough is enough and demand more responsible media representation in politics. Perhaps Ron Paul or Mike Huckabee is not your candidate… but one day, when the corporate media silences your candidate you’ll see. We should all be in agreement of equal time in political debates and an end to this obvious bias. That’s all for now.Â
Won’t happen. You overestimate the fairness and intelligence of the american people. We want whats ours plus a little of yours
I am guilty of many things – but overestimating the intelligence of the American people is NOT one of them. I agree with you absolutely though.
I agree with Bob D. The only thing fair, balanced, and intelligent in this country is, of course, FoxNews. Alas, I am beginning to question just how intelligent they are when they do things like this: http://thinkprogress.org/2008/01/23/gibson-mocks-ledger/
but definitely still fair and balanced.
