Another debate I'm not watching

NBC needs to take its debates and shove them up its ass.

I've been waiting all day for the results of NBC's temper tantrum against Dennis Kucinich, and now the rightists on the Nevada Supreme Court have decided in the network's favor in its decision to bar Kucinich from the MSNBC debate.

MSNBC's own account of the 3 candidates who remain in the debate is biased. MSNBC reports, "The debate lineup included Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois as well as former Sen. John Edwards ..." What? "As well as" Edwards? MSNBC acts like even Edwards is a taboo candidate by prefacing him with "as well as" - but they just haven't been able to find any excuses yet to exclude him (though you know they're trying).

So the media agenda continues against dissent. Is there still any doubt how the media wants this election to turn out?

This is the sort of shit that makes me ever gladder I'm not wasting $30 a month by getting cable.
