How much more do you think it costs for the news to display 3 photos of 3 candidates rather than just 2 photos of 2 candidates? 25 cents? How the fuck is it possible for anyone to be this dumb?

It's like putting documents in foreign language - it COSTS more! So at election time, they split things up into the two MAJOR different camps. It doesn't matter if you're voting for a third-party candidate; you can STILL VOTE! No big deal here.

You are a complete idiot. The two main candidates ARE the two main candidates - not because the lame-stream media says it, but because it's the real, honest TRUTH - which you may not like (boo-hoo!) but that's the way it is. If a different group can get a candidate to be a major force in any election, he or she will be reported! Amazingly SIMPLE (but too complicated for you, apparently!)

A third point: You are confusing the concept of "normal" with "average". Lying about who the candidates are in a campaign is AVERAGE because it is what is commonly done. But it's a perversion of the political process and hence is not "normal".

The media is not just "focused" on the "main two" candidates in this account, the media is completely denying the existence of any other candidates that the ones THEY arbitrarily deem as being the "main two". So you not only missed the main point of this presentation, but you are also colluding with the corrupt media by mischaracterizing this as just "FOCUSing on the main two candidates". Now you're stupid AND a liar.

waynebollman (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

Wow. Talk about missing the point. The whole point of this is that the main two candidates are the main two candidates because the media TELLS you they are the main two candidates. You completely missed the cause and affect message here, which I assume that you are simply not very intelligent.

when I went to go vote they said: if you're voting republican go this way if you're voting democrat go this way

At this point, we really should stop calling the FRINGE MEDIA the "Main-Stream Media!" They are in no way mainstream at this point! Your point is correct, but minor. Most media outlets will focus on the MAIN TWO (or "top two") candidates - this is somewhat normal, though it may rightly be frustrating! Not enough time is devoted to covering the top two in depth, much less the rest - unfortunately. Keep up the good vids!

Ron Paul scared the shit out of the status quo
