Why do they never show Kucinich or Sharpton?
The press never mentions that Dennis Kucinich or Al Sharpton are actually candidates in the New Hapmshire Election.

I watched the major new programs on CBS, NBC and ABC. None of these as much as mentioned either. I watched, CBS news on saturday and sunday nights, NBC, Meet the Press, NBC nightly news on Sunday and some kind of coverage of New Hampshire campaigning on Sunday on NBC.

The ONLY place I saw or heard Dennis Kucinich was on C-SPAN. I only heard Al Sharpton mentioned once when CBS did a story on SOuth Carolina dn the potential influence of African American voters. The said:

"Al Sharpton,though not expected win, is running for President..." This is a direct quote. Right after saying his name they slam them with that "not expected to win"

Who is it that gets to pre-decide the primary? What happened to the equal time rules?

1. They're polling less that 1% in any real poll
I know it hurts if like them but if that is the best they can do with Dem's then they need to get a clue and work within other campaigns.

3. they're outside the boundaries of acceptable liberalism
Corporate media won't cover them seriously. When attention goes to what is covered, that's the rationale for ignoring them further.
