This morning I learned that the debates among the democratic presidential candidates, set to take place in Las Vegas, Nevada, will be taking place WITHOUT the participation of Dennis Kucinic. The debates were being hosted by MSNBC.

The news article can be found here:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/16/us/politics/16kucinich.html?ref=us

Dennis Kucinic will not be participating, not because he opted out or could not arrive on time, or some other reason of his own. Contrarywise, he fought a legal battle to be included. He flew in from Ohio just to try and seal the deal to be included. MSNBC fought Dennis Kucinic in the Nevada State Supreme Court to exclude Dennis Kucinic. And the Nevada Supreme Court upheld the MSNBC decision! The courts and the media basically collaborated to bar him from debating!!

And what was the reason for MSNBC to exclude Kucinic from the Nevada debates? Because he did not gain enough delegation votes in previous primary states. What kind of stupid reason is that to take the case of a debate to a supreme court to exclude him from a debate?! What are they afraid of? Kucinic is by far the most progressive and liberal of the Democratic candidates. The story MUST be bigger than just this. I am personally outraged that such conspiratorial actions are taken by our media, suppsedly our "voice of freedom", the ideal of our "bastion of democracy". What were they afraid of? Kucinic telling the truth and making the others look bad? Kucinic actually saying, in a televised broadcast, what everyone in this country is already thinking and feeling upset about because of the current broken system? Therein, by excluding Kucinic, MSNBC proves that Clinton, Obama, and Edwards are three more pawns in this messed up game of a broken system we call our government...a conspiratorial government that does not have the best interest of its people at heart. May the givers of the real truth be saved, and may the protrayers of the revised truth be damned!
