That is primarily why Hillary and Obama have been given the nomination by the MSM after only two states have voted. There is no reason to believe that their 30-odd percent of the votes will continue in the future or that no one else has a chance to win the election.
This is why Mitt Romney gets the attention that he gets. He has a lot of money to spend. This is why they hype up Mayor Bloomberg - he has a ton of money to spend. And who gets that money? The same people that are telling us who we should vote for and who the favorites are at this early stage.
The MSM have the power, with the role of money, to determine the choices that we end up with. And those choices are the ones that have money to give to the corporate media. There is only one solution. Take the over-riding role of money out of politics.
