Tell CNN You Want Fair Coverage For Kucinich

Dennis Kucinich has finished both the Washington and Maine caucuses ahead of candidates John Edwards, Wesley Clark and Al Sharpton. This represents the strongest back-to-back showing of his campaign to date. One would think that such a clear surge would require coverage from the national media. One would be wrong.

On the evening of February 8th, as Dennis Kucinich was running strong in Maine, and a day after defeating Edwards, Clark and Sharpton in Washington, CNN put out a report on the Maine caucuses. In this report, CNN stated that, "Dean, struggling to revive his once-promising campaign, was the only candidate who campaigned in the state Sunday, making stops in six cities."; The facts fully dispute CNN's version of events. Dennis Kucinich spoke at the Bangor Civic Center caucus site which was filled with television cameras, as well as caucus sites in Lewiston, Auburn, Portland and Westbrook. Clearly, Howard Dean was not the only candidate in Maine on February 8th.

The behavior of CNN is not unique. The international media watchdog group Media Tenor, after performing an exhaustive review, determined that the nightly half-hour national news broadcasts from ABC, CBS and NBC devoted exactly 0.94% of their coverage to the Kucinich campaign. Dennis Kucinich has begun a strong surge in the race for the Democratic nomination. He is in this race to the end. The time has come for the national media to get wise to this, and at a minimum, to begin reporting basic facts with accuracy and integrity.

[This news just in regarding Joanne who runs the Yonkers Ferret Shelter. I've been happily volunteering my time at this shelter for 2 years. Have become quite fond of not only the dear adorable ferrets, but also of Joanne, her family and numerous pets. Learned that Joanne went into hospital recently for extensive surgery and will undergo chemo afterwards. Her daughter Liz and MetroFerret volunteer Maggie are helping out with the shelter while Joanne recovers. Joanne never said a peep to me, cause she knew how upset I would be upon hearing the news. If you care about animals and those that devote their lives to taking care of them ... please say a prayer or two for Joanne's quick recovery. Thank you ... God Bless ... Peace!]
