Wake Up and Hear What's Happening!

Since when do television networks get to decide who American voters should be able to listen to? In case you don't know, Fox News and Disney/ABC has done just this by excluding "certain" candidates from the televised debates.

It's bad enough that people can't get both sides of the news because of corporate spin on the truth, but now, actual first-person debate participation is threatened? Is this not taking media interference in the election process to an intolerable, obscene new level?

True, I gave up watchting mainstream news many years ago, but now I may take it up again in order to compile a list of their advertisers to boycott

We all know that who pays the piper calls the tune, but if individual musicians are singled out before the dress rehearsal to have their instruments usurped, we may never get to hear the sweetest performance.
