If you believe the media manipulates campaigns, sign this please!!
It's a collection of 10,000 names to ask the ACLU to file a lawsuit against the media for manipulating campaigns and shutting out candidates (Kucinich, for example, Edwards too to a degree).

3. Just signed and commented ...
The fact that Oprah or Spielberg support someone OR because the M$M finds them good for ratings is NOT how I decide who to support as a Presidential nominee.

17. I agree, however, the ACLU loves publicity.......
... if it gets to any media that 10,000 names have been forwarded to the ACLU for this purpose, they'll take a very close look unless they're a bunch of fascists too and don't care.

21. I don't quite understand
what are the grounds for the suit? What's the proposed remedy?

And why the ACLU? They deal generally with government assaults on rights.

Love to tell the MSM to go fuck themselves.

All presidental elections should be on CSPAN and covered exclusively by CSPAN.
