| Should Disney/ABC, which contributed to Hillary & Obama, Be Able to Omit Candidates from a Debate? More importantly, does Democracy belong to the People-who might be interested in what ALL the candidates have to say-or to the Corporate Media who arbitrarily sets standards to eliminate the less Corporate friendly "second tier?"
Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich filed a complaint with the FCC on Friday after ABC News excluded him, fellow Democrat Mike Gravel and Republican Duncan Hunter from its prime-time debates on Saturday.
Kucinich argued that ABC is violating equal-time provisions by keeping him out of the debate and noted that ABC's parent Walt Disney Co. had contributed to campaigns involving the four Democrats who were invited."ABC should not be the first primary," the Ohio congressman said in papers filed at the Federal Communications Commission.

ABC News announced today that Dennis Kucinich will not be
allowed to participate in tomorrow's nationally televised debate
from St. Anselm College in New Hampshire.
The Democratic Debate tomorrow is about figuring out what real
Democrats care about. Real Democrats want to vote for someone
who:
- has opposed the Iraq War from the beginning
- has defended the Constitution from the Bush Administration
- will give our country single payer not-for-profit health care.
Mainstream America needs to hear about the one real Democrat -
Dennis Kucinich.
(Dennis Kucinich is interviewed by Bill Moyers on PBS Journal tonight)
