17. So you admit that the corporatists have a motive
to deny forceful Democrats a forum, yet you believe that the reason Joe Leiberman is the one who appears the most is because he is the one who asks to appear the most?

Well, when there is no evidence one way or the other, you can for yourself choose which explanation seems the most likely.

I have chosen the explanation that Kerry, Dean and other Dems who are able to make a forceful case don't appear more often on cable news shows because the corporations that control the content of those shows don't believe it is in their interest to put them on. More profit in letting the Republicans face only token opposition from Joe Leiberman, Ben Nelson, or Jane Harman.

You, if I understand you correctly, believe that Dean, Kerry, Boxer et al just aren't asking to appear.

I find that explanation extremely far fetched, but I can no more prove that it is untrue than you can prove that my explanation is untrue.
