CSPAN whoring themselves out for the so-called "Major" candidates

[cryofan]

Anyone see how. after the debates, they showed Lieberman talking to reporters for about 15 minutes, and while Kucinich was talking, they took callers for all but about 1 minute of his talking with the reporters. Also, even though Kucinich has a commercial out, it was not shown by CSPAN when they were showing the commericials of Dean, Clark, Edwards, Lieberman, Gephardt and Kerry. However, the latest CNN poll shows Kucinich within margin or error of ALL the "major" candidates except Dean.

CSPAN is turning out to be an Establishment whore just like the other networks.....

2. he was the first one out the gate again

he talked first, before anyone got to the spin room. If you get a chance, watch the end again. He was really good, talking about how he is the only one making a stand on the removal of troops. :)

3. I'm not surprised. Favorites are played.

But really, honestly, Kucinich is seen as a fringe candidate with virtually no chance of winning the nomination. But so is Braun, so I'm surprised that they'd show one of her commercials and not Kucinich's. Maybe Kucinich's team hasn't gotten a copy to C-SPAN yet.

4. But all candidates except Dean are tied when considering MOE

They are basically all equal when considering Margin of Error, so how can you say any of them are minor?
