There is a law about allowing equal time in news channels that is not being met at all here.

Even if you don't feel they are electable the fact that they siphon off votes make the other candidates look at the views of the (unelectable s)therefore inadvertently allowing you to impress upon the remaining candidates your views.

To the anonymous poster above. You obviously haven't been watching the news or reading internet post.At these campaign events some candidates don't even show up, let alone their supporters.

Unbelievable! I find it laughable that people find and espouse these conspiracy theories whenever there's no easy explanation for a complex situation. First of all, the American political parties are not on the extremes, as some one put it earlier. Rather, they are quite close in the right-of-center political climate in the US. Aside from some key issues, they are forced to be fairly moderate

The equal time rules were done away with by Reagan and Republicans. Thank them for that. Their goal is to dominate and control all media, as that is the ONLY WAY they can win elections. The Republicans then cheat and steal elections if they cannot do it by controlling and attacking people in as sleazy a manner as possible. Republicans have fought the equal time rule ever since. Democrats want it

I don't think they are really trying to manipulate the vote. I think they already have a system to fake the voting results. I believe they chose the next "president" a long time ago, and that the point is to simply put on a one or two year long show that makes it look like there is a campaign going on. The media runs it along the pre-defined rails so that the media consumers believe it is them

Hey, watch out for the "baby boomers" prejudice. I trusted people over 30 -- some of them -- when I was a teen in the '60s, and I hate the MSM. Ageism, man. Just as dumb as classifying people by race. There is no "fairness doctrine" anymore. It was only an FCC regulation, and it's been gone since Reagan.

Jimmy Carter came out of nowhere. It can happen. Quite frankly, Clinton came pretty much out of nowhere himself, and won it because of Perot diverting so much of the republican vote. Also, had not Perot shown up on the seen, neither of the two candidates intended to say one word about money, at all -- they had their stock answers and the reporters played ball. But Perot came on and talked

I don't think you realize just how deep this problem goes. Is anyone here aware of the fact that these so-called "debates" are run by the political parties themselves? This isn't even Big Media at work -- it is a dog and pony show run by each party, NOT by any sort of objective or neutral group at all. Is it any wonder that the questions are fluff, the placement biased and no real issues are ever

Frankly 'anonymous' mas the most valid point here. While he didn't elaborate, he essentially was saying, "Welcome to the real world."It's wonderfully idealistic to say that everyone should have equal time, down to the second, but it's also woefully inaccurate.Time spent talking doesn't equal time spent saying something worthwhile.

anon1:17: Who is "unelectable"? I think all of the candidates in the last Dem & Rep debates are all over 35 years old and they are all native-born American citizens. Thus, they are electable. It's the media that tries to decide who is "unelectable" and who is a "mainstream" candidate. The fact that you perceive some of them as unelectable means that the media has been doing a good job of stealing
