"Recently Kucinich was excluded from Des Moines Register debate, yet was actor and activist Sean Penn's personal pick for President."
Oh dear. He's been left out of a debate even though some actor thinks he would be the best President? *Shock* *Horror*
Really, that line should be excised.

I think this is an unfair act of censorship —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.215.27.182 (talk) 21:45, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
I watched the debate on YouTube, and it was in 10 parts at roughly 9 minutes a piece. Even without Kucinich, it was a test of endurance. Kucinich would have made it unbearable. Booticon 14:02, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
It goes to show you that progressiveness isn't tolerated by the corporate owned mass media. They won't even give it a chance to be heard. Apparentaly they want Conservative Christian Republicans still in charge.
- The major issue here is that they invited him to the debate and then "dis-invited" him after changing the criteria. If his campaign has no substance beyond the endorsement of celebrities, a debate would only hasten his departure anyway.
- But the fact that media companies can shape elections by their coverage is not democratic. Furthermore, corporations are not people and NBC's insistence that their 1st amendment rights have been violated is a travesty.
