I find that actually quite hysterical. You know why?
Damn lib'rul media don't cover us enough...and then damn conservative media does not cover us enough. It's true, it's true, most large media outlets are playing the exact same game, of playing favorites...but some of us try.
You know what is even more hysterical, when I do interviews I make a point not to let the person know what are my political views. Hysterical, isn't it?
So what do you want? And what exactly are you objecting to? Me telling you that we will not play the same game fox and msnbc play? You object to us trying hard to let local voters who is running and do interviews with as many candidates who are making an effort to run? Are you seriously objecting to that? And you are also objecting to any coverage of a still Presidntial candidate? I got a paper fer ya, the San Diego Union Tribune.
Among other things you should know about the Trib, well Congressman Filner has not done a thing in Congress. Nope, this was not in the opinion page, but an actual page one, under the fold, story on the mayoral campaign. Oh and when called on the whopper they closed comments. But that is your paper. And we all thought it could not get worst.
I mean that is the same paper that refused to cover Presidential Candidate Dean as well, never mind there were thousands in attendance too.
But you are asking people do this to those you vehemently disagree. Don't read them. Not making you do it...but don't ask small media fighting against the crap large media is doing, to follow that standard.
If you do, you are part of the problem. That you can object to.
By the way we also covered extensively the State Democratic Convention...I guess that is ok in your book. When the republicans do theirs in town, guess what? We will cover it too. Is that a problem? No serious, asking a very serious question. This us vs them is not healthy.
