USA Today refuses to acknowledge Kucinich was at the debate!

[The Sushi Bandit]

I am going to stop buying their paper!

[Jack_Dawson]

1. You sure it wasn't Clark they "forgot"?

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

2. Newsweek covered over Kucinich in a picture of the debates with...

... a super-sized image of Kerry. No kidding. They couldn't be more obvious.

[MrSlayer]

3. Shouldn't buy their paper anyway, they're scabs.

Union busting scum.

[rucky]

4. If we boycott every time this happens...

there won't be anything left to read

[goodhue]

5. well at least they are consistent

very sad since he did quite well last night

[mdmc]

17. Is that your Dad?

Kucinich rocks!

[plurality]

6. is there an article or something where this omission occured?

just wondering what this is about.

[chocolateeater]

7. Of course they didn't.

If the Media can't make Kucinich look ridiculous, then they ignore him. He says too many things they don't like.

[arcane1]

8. but of course! He called out PNAC last night

:toast:

so naturally the marginalization needs to be kicked up a notch :grr:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

9. Just like today's New York Times

One sentence about him in the article. Then they omitted him from the sidebar containing quotes from the debate and from the sidebar giving the candidates' schedules. They gave Sharpton's quotes and schedules, not Kucinich's.

I guess that's his punishment for mentioning the PNAC in public.

Will, you've got your work cut out for you!

[Virgil]

10. Do not buy their paper

They were giving papers away and the guy tried to pitch their special. I said it was a dollar a week last time. He asked me why I did not buy a paper. I said, "I hate to say this pal, but it is just propaganda for the machine."

And my take is that we are now under plutocratic rule and that there is the machine of the wealthy and we are but batteries. Kind of makes you sad to think of it that way.

11. How disgusting!!!!!!!!!!

Can anyone out there HANDLE THE TRUTH!?



DENNIS J. KUCINICH FOR PRESIDENT IN 2004!!!

www.kucinich.us - donate now! Lets keep Dennis around for a long, long, long, long time!!!




:dem: :kick:

[Sugarbleus]

19. I can handle the truth... Twi...

I desire the truth. It's America's citizens and corporate entities that are having a problem.

I've donated to DK and will do so again next month.

Goooooooooo for it Dennis!

[AlFrankenFan]

12. What?!

I can't believe it >:(

[MMT]

13. Write to them! Be polite but clear.

The corporate state is having to work harder and harder every day to push Dennis off to the edge, cover him over, pretend he's not there, vanish him.

Good thing we haven't completely devolved to banana republic yet...otherwise BushCo would simply send out a couple of SS agents and Dennis would end in Guantanamo or in a river somewhere. Maybe next year they'll start doing that.

[arcane1]

14. or they will mail him a 'suspicious package'

it sure worked on many of the Dems in congress... and Tom Brokaw too!

[Sugarbleus]

20. EEEK! Arcane I was

Just thinking about that today!

Who sent the ANTHRAX??? A little story that just went down the "memory hole" ???

[arcane1]

22. there hasn't been even a PEEP about the anthrax ASSASSIN

not from the government, not from the media, not even from the Dems!!!

in other words, it worked perfectly


once again, ask yourself, who is the one with the most to gain?

Bush

[prolesunited]

27. If I were evil

that's what I would do.

:hi:

[snoochie]

15. Surprise surprise

That's what... one out of dozens of media outlets to do the same thing?

He's the only choice if you want any meaningful change, it's becoming glaringly obvious.

[tmwat]

16. Whaddya expect from McNewspaper? [eom]

[DemBones DemBones]

18. Good point! Welcome to DU!

:hi:

[newyawker99]

21. Hi tmwat!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[jsw_81]

23. I'm not surprised

Fringe candidates are rarely covered. It's not a conspiracy, only the way that newspapers operate. Popular candidates (who get votes) get covered, unpopular candidates do not.

[arcane1]

26. kind of difficult to become popular if you aren't covered

remember that ABC pulled their "in-bed" reporters from the Kucinich campaign after the first debate, long before a primary vote was ever cast

DK still gets GREAT applause when introduced at the debates, but he's 'fringe' because he's a congressman?

[corporatewhore]

24. Fuck USA Today and NYTimes

[genius]

25. THat's because Dennis won the debate. They are afraid of him.

He's the only one who mentioned PNAC

They don't want any more honest debates.
