either of them call bullshit on the way that the media has corrupted the process.

And not by complaining a little as BO seemed to. But standing up and saying, "I am going to discuss issues wheher you ask about them or not. If you cannot accept that, then I will go out in the street and talk directly to the people."

For those who remember Raygun and his "it's my microphone" comment at a debate, you have to know that Americans do respond to courage, even on a bullshit item like a microphone. Just think what the reaction would be, even with the spin that the corporate media would give any such action. People would LOVE it!

Why can't "our" candidates show a little courage?
