Another Local Media Blunder

Another Local Media Blunder

Oct 18

There are MORE than two!

I found this poll on the WDTN web site. This is another example of how short-sided the media is toward the elections. They continue to carry the message that there are only TWO candidates in the presidential race.

Where are the other candidates?

Where are the other candidates?

I can’t vote in this poll

I am certainly NOT undecided. I have chosen NOT to vote for either McCain or Obama, yet the selections offered do not show the actual candidates.

I just don’t understand why the media will NOT show the other legitimate candidates in their polls. I do not understand why they continue to bury the third party candidates when there are legitimate stories that can be told.

There are news stories being missed

Whether anyone agrees with Bob Barr or not, he was the only candidate that stood up against the recent bail-out issues. To me, that would stand to be significant news.

WDTN is the NBC affiliate that is currently off the air with Time-Warner cable in my market.
