105. Oh come now, Hep...
Don't just get silly... address the issue.

While there has been coverage of Kucinich on some political talk shows, the mainstream media has focused only on the frontrunners on and Dean.

And meetup numbers aside, when Kucinch and Dean were within the margin of error, journalists went FULL force in pushing Dean. His coverage skyrocketed, with his support trailing it.

A case can be made that the media even helped to characterize him as the 'progressive, anti-war, liberal' candidate, despite the fact that he's not. This has led to people being badly misled and I for one don't think it's by accident, just as I think the media's widespread support of Bush's rush to war was an accident.
