Corporate Media Has Decided The 2008 Election For Us

No need to think for yourself, the MSM will continue to narrow the
candidacy field until we're left with the next president.

It's already become clear that the corporate media is deciding the
2008 presidential election; here's how they're doing it:

* "Popular" candidates are placed toward the center of the stage.
The few true liberals and true conservatives are positioned on the
outskirts.

So far, it seems that the leading candidates are placed near the
center of the stage so that they are the most easily viewed. Whether
cameras pan left or right, the center-stage candidates receive the
most face-time. Those on the far sides of the stage are often cropped
out altogether when questions are being presented.

* The majority of questions, though distributed somewhat evenly,
are always guided back to the candidates of choice.

This is easily discernable to those having watched any of the debates
up to date. It's also evident in the amount of time alloted to each
candidate. The majority of every GOP and Democratic debate can be
found on youtube and elsewhere, for a closer look.

* The "popular" candidates are given far more time to speak than
all other candidates.

The proof is in the minutes, folks. And Senator Dodd's "Talk Clock"
says it all:

There is absolutely no justification for allowing some candidates to
speak three times as much as others!

It is unacceptable for the media to decide for all of us who is worth
listening to. It's bad enough that these "debates" are not debates at
all but merely two-hour Q&A segments of a third-grade level. "Raise
your hand if" you've had enough.
